A new terminal will open its doors at Xiaoshan International Airport in the fourth quarter of this year.
Terminal 3 will add 51 airplane docks to the airport, boosting total docking capacity to 112.
The airport authority has not set the exact date when operations will start at Terminal 3.
In addition, the airport's second runway will be completed in the second quarter of this year. It will be able to accommodate the world's largest commercial passenger jet, the Airbus A380.
The additional facilities will mean more flights and less delays, the East China Aviation Administration said.
Yo-Yo Ma concert
Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble will perform at Hangzhou Grand Theater on March 6.
It will be the first time the world famous cellist visits Hangzhou with the Silk Road Ensemble, a collective of internationally renowned performers and composers from more than 20 countries and regions.
Founded by Ma in 1998, the Silk Road is a nonprofit arts and educational organization with a vision of connecting the world by bringing together artists and audiences.
Ma was born in Paris, France, on October 7, 1955, and moved to the US with his parents at the age of five. He has received multiple Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Arts in 2001 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011.

Solar power boost
Wanxiang Photovoltaic Power Station, the largest photovoltaic power station in Zhejiang Province, was recently incorporated into the State Grid network.
Located at Wanxiang No. 3 Industrial Park, the power project covers 28,000 square meters at a cost of 65 million yuan (US$10.33 million).
The station generates about 3 million kilowatt hours of electricity annually, enough for over 2,000 households.
Zhejiang receives plenty of sunshine annually and is therefore a good location for promoting solar photovoltaic technology.
Cows run amok
Bewildered cows ran along an expressway near Hangzhou on Monday morning after the truck transporting them overturned in heavy rain.
The accident happened about 1 kilometer from Xiaoshan Service Area along the Hangzhou-Jinhua-Quzhou Expressway. The truck bumped into a roadside railing, turned 180 degrees on the slippery road and flipped over at 7:30am. The cows were scattered across the road, a man surnamed Yang from Hangzhou said.
"I was astonished to see cows on the highway," Yang said.
Two cows ran to the middle of the highway and stopped, another two ran crazily along the expressway while the others tried to jump out of the truck trailer. Four men emerged from the cab of the truck and tried to catch the cows, Yang added.
Policemen arrived at the scene at 7:47am and herded the cows to the service area in about 20 minutes.
Four cows with serious injuries to their hooves had to be removed from the trailer with a crane as each weighed about 500 kilograms.
The accident backed up traffic for 3 kilometers. Traffic returned to normal at around 10:30am.
The truck was en route from Heilongjiang Province to Jinhua City in Zhejiang Province, said the truck driver, who was slightly injured in the accident.
