History

With the rapid expansion of the city of Nanjing, the military Dajiaochang Airport, originally far from the city, is increasingly surrounded by the urban area and restricting its development.[2] Since 2003 the local government and the military have been in talks on relocating the air base. In January 2006 a site for the new airport was determined and the project received approvals from the State Council and the Central Military Commission in January 2009. On 8 August 2012, construction for Luhe Airport was started in suburban Luhe District.[1] Luhe Airport was opened in July 2015, and Dajiaochang Airport was closed on 30 July 2015.[3]

gollark: Well, I have #1 done, and #3 done, and technically #2.
gollark: I think you can get some sort of offline copy.
gollark: This is troubling as osmarkscompiler™ is to be written in Haskell, once I work out how compilers work.
