CNN reports that China is actively constructing the world's largest airport on an artificial island. The "Dalian Jinzhou Bay" airport will be located off the northeastern coast of the country and will surpass the size of Hong Kong International Airport and Japan's Kansai Airport.

The first phase of construction is expected to be completed by 2035. It is anticipated that the airport will be able to handle 80 million passengers annually. The facility will feature four runways, and the total area of the airport will be around 900,000 square meters.

The city of Dalian has long been an important transport hub due to its proximity to Japan and South Korea. The local airport has been in operation for nearly a century and has undergone several expansions in recent years. However, it has long since reached its capacity limit.
