The airport will be the second municipal airport in Wuhan, after Hannan Municipal Airport. The airport covers 500 acres of land, with a 1600 m (5249 ft) long, 30 m (98 ft) wide runway. The airport is slated to finish construction by the end of 2018, and be handed over to the city government by the start of 2019. The airport construction will spend about 300 million CNY(45360388 USD) (all stats estimate).[2]
Spokesmen of the government said they plan to extend the runway from 1600m up to 2200m, after the airport's construction finished, in order to offer service to some private jets.
