Construction of the first phase of the new Shanghai Pudong International Airport began in October 1997. Terminal 1 was opened on October 1, 1999 along with a 4000-metre runway. The exterior of Terminal 1 is shaped like a seagull, and has 28 gates, 13 of which are double decker gates.
Terminal 2, opened on March 26, 2008, along with the third runway, gives a capacity of 60 million passengers and 4.2 million tons of cargo annually.
