meters housing parking areas, vehicle maintenance office, car rental center, service area, washing service and
other facilities with a beginning capability of 5,000 cars. In addition, an underground station is planned
for public transportation.
The new airport offers an online information system for passengers' convenience. Supported by electronics system,
the
e-Check-in shortcuts the complicated and time-consuming procedure and enhances the security
efficiency. For mobile phone's additional service subscribers, reservation can be directly made. After entering the
airport, they can gain access to several procedures and information i.e. flight ticket checking, automatic
check-in, etc. Moreover, the
e-Information system will provide them with SMS and WAP flight information.
To tackle today's terrorist and epidemic threats, the Biometric Technology, applied for safety and security efficiencies,
helps make the individual identification an personal data verification more easily than the usual passport
control approach. Once the BT system is fully developed and globally implemented, air travel will step into
the novel security efficiency.

e-Navigation is a quick guide for passengers by SMS via moblle phones i.e. airport's
facilities, translation service, airport's map and GPS, directional guide in-out of the airport, tourist attractions
in international languages, etc.

can boost a more enjoyable trip and passengers' satisfaction. Planned are the passenger terminal's interior design
and airport's landscape. Furthermore, the treated wastewater from the treatment plant is reusable for watering plants.
Due to the Passenger Terminal's high roof design and passengers' 4-meter vertical occupancy, the radiant floor cooling
and re-circulated air cooling systems are installed for energy saving. Moreover, the automated air control
adjusts the temperature accordingly to the ever-changing passenger volume to reduce the air-condition workload.
