The construction of the Qingdao International Air Terminal has gained recently the government's approval and is scheduled to serve customers at the end of this year. The terminal covers 10,000 square meters of land and looks identical with the old one. The beautiful curves has made it look like shells while the steel structure, the metal coating and the glass walls have set off the grandeur of the terminal. The new AOC, being between the two terminals, will also start operation soon.
