History

The airport was planned to be constructed in three phases. The first phase of construction started in July 1997, and was completed and opened for traffic on 30 December 2000. It replaced the old Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, which was a dual-use civil and military airfield. In March 2004, the airport officially became an international airport after immigration and customs facilities were built and put into service. The second runway of the airport began construction on 8 November 2007, as part of the airport's Phase II expansion project. A second runway has since been completed and it was officially put into operation on 30 December 2012. It is listed as Runway 07/25, 3,600 m long. The airport was a hub of CNAC Zhejiang. After the airlines' merger with Air China, the latter inherited the Hangzhou hub. KLM launched the first intercontinental air route out of Hangzhou, to Amsterdam, on 8 May 2010.
