Since its opening in 1998, it has become a major aviation hub in Asia, connecting over 220 destinations worldwide. The airport features two parallel runways and two main terminals, handling over 70 million passengers annually. Designed by renowned architect Norman Foster, the airport is known for its modern and functional architectural style. The terminal design emphasizes openness and transparency, using extensive glass and steel structures to create a spacious and bright environment. The interior design focuses on passenger comfort and convenience, with multiple rest areas and commercial facilities. Additionally, the airport's eco-friendly design, including a rainwater recycling system and energy-efficient lighting, has been highly praised.
