Expo boost to traffic at city airports

THE World Expo is expected to strongly boost passenger volume at Shanghai's two airports, said Wu Nianzu, deputy to the Shanghai People's Congress.

"We expect to see a strong growth in passenger volume this year," Wu, chairman of the Shanghai Airport Authority, told Shanghai Daily on the sidelines of the SPC meeting. "The Expo is a strong driver besides the economy."

The airport authority targets an annual passenger volume of 70 million this year, an increase of 22.6 percent from last year.

"The (original) targeted passenger volume this year was about 60 million if not for the Expo," Wu said.

"We are now focusing on improving our services and management capability, as the hardware, runways and construction of terminals are almost done," he said.
