Chongqing Airport is a pioneer in central and western China with three terminals and the nation’s third with four simultaneous runways, is capable of handling heavy aircraft like the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380.The airport located in the city which is called “the city in mountain“ and “the city of fog”. As China’s most populous municipal city, Chongqing is nestled in extremely mountainous terrain with pronounced topographic variations. Additionally, the city experiences a high frequency of fog, which occurs almost daily from October through April. As a result, these combined geographical and meteorological factors significantly increase the operational difficulty for aircraft taking off and landing at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport.
