Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport SHA is located 13 km from the downtown district of Shanghai, in Central-East China, and is situated close to the China Sea. This was the original Shanghai airport, started over 80 years ago. As passenger traffic grew, there was a need to build a second airport in the area, which is the Pudong Airport. The two airports mainly differ in that Pudong has taken over the bulk of the international flights, while Hongquiao concentrates mostly on domestic flights. However, Hongqiao, after extensive renovation, has become one of the four major Airports in China.
With two long runways and over 25 million passengers a year, Hongqiao International is hub for China Eastern, Shanghai Airlines & Spring Air, and is served by domestic, Korean & Japanese airlines, offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

Hongqiao International Airport has two passenger terminals - Terminal 1, now exclusively used for international flights and by Spring Air, and the recently-opened Terminal 2 (four times larger than T1), host to the majority of domestic Airlines serving the Airport.
