The construction plan of Boao Airport in Qionghai, Hainan recently got approved by the CAAC and is expected to start construction in the first half of this year.

The airport, which mainly serves the annual Boao Forum for Asia, is located at the Zhongyuan Town of Qionghai City, 15 km from the permanent convention venue of BFA – Boao International Convention Centre.
