Why are there airports in Shanghai and Kunshan and no airports in Suzhou?

There are two main reasons why Suzhou does not build an airport: considering the airport passenger flow in Shanghai; Consider the rational use of land resources.

1. Considering the airport passenger flow in Shanghai.

Suzhou is too close to Shanghai, and building an airport will greatly disperse the passenger flow in Shanghai. In order to ensure the passenger flow in Shanghai, there will be no airports in a certain area of Shanghai.

2. Consider the rational use of land resources.

The airport density of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration is very high, which can completely solve the travel problem of ordinary people. There is no need to build another airport. Sunan Shuofang International Airport is only 10 km away from Suzhou New District, which is jointly built by Suzhou and Wuxi. In addition, there is a direct high-speed train from Suzhou to Shanghai Hongqiao, which is less than 50 kilometers and more than 20 minutes away. The integration process of Suzhou, Kunshan and Shanghai is very fast, so there is no need for Suzhou to waste money and money to build another airport.
