Shanghai Pudong International Airport PVG is located in the eastern corner of Pudong New Disrict (within Shanghai city limits) and is 30 km from the city center of Shanghai, southern China. Pudong Airport occupies 40 square km, adjacent to the coast line of the East China Sea. The Airport is a major aviation hub in Asia, and especially the East Asian region. Its Shanghai Maglev High-Speed Train takes passengers from the passenger terminals to downtown Pudong in a mere 7.5 mins.
Pudong Airport is a fairly new airport. It was completed in 1999 to relieve the congestion at Honqiao International Airport, which is 40 km away. The intention was to divert all international flights to Pudong Airport, however, in the course of the following years Honqiao obtained a few of its own international services.
Shanghai Pudong Airport, now the third-busiest airport in the world, is the main hub for China Eastern and Shanghai airlines, and a major international hub for Air China. With three long runways and nearly 32 million passengers a year, the Airport is served by a host of domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe. Most major international airlines are serving the airport, as well as minor East Asian airlines.
Due to Shanghai Pudong Airport's rapid growth, its current masterplan calls for a third passenger terminal, a Satellite Terminal and two additional runways by 2015.
Passenger Terminals and connecting between them:
Shanghai Pudong includes Terminal 1 (T1), opened in 1999 and the three-level Terminal 2 (T2) right behind it, opened in 2008. T2 has Departures & Arrivals on Level 1, making it easy for transfer passengers. T2 is host to Air China, Shanghai Airlines and 32 other major international airlines. Its Services and amenities include Information counters, duty-free & regular shops food & drink establishments, medical stations, Lost & Found, banks, and an hourly hotel.

They are located at T1 - Exit 1 of the domestic, & Exit 8 of the international departure level; and in T2 - Exit 23 of the international and Exit 27 of the domestic departure level. (c) T2 can be accessed from the Maglev train station.
