The planned third runway, located north of the airport’s existing site, began the first phase of construction in September 2023. Pi said the airport decided to plan 16 temporary overnight aprons, used mainly by domestic carriers, to reduce the impact of the construction. Nine of the aprons have been in operation since July, while the remaining seven are expected to be completed before the Lunar New Year’s holiday in February 2026, she said.
