Along with the overall planning of Jingzhou CivilianAirport passing the evaluation of experts, main buildings such as airportterminal has lifted the veil, and appeared the “beautiful outline”.
“Lotus” and“phoenix” integrated into the design
The terminal building covers an area of 13,800 squaremeters.
The composition of the terminal is a six-petal flower andthe four ones at the lower floor are entrance hall, VIP hall, departure halland arrival hall of remote boarding gate respectively and form as a rainshed,while the two ones at the upper floor form the high-side window of interiorhall, integrating building shape and multiple functions perfectly.
Seeing from the outer appearance, the high-flying roofmakes the horizon of terminal up and down with rich outlines, and looksdifferent from different views. With a soaring momentum, the building seemslike a flying phoenix. It embodies the flourishing scene of Jingzhou, meaning abright future of Jingzhou.

The approaching road to airport adopts the process ofring road organization transport. The parking lot of station square covers anarea of 10,000 square meters.
It is said that, the building feature of the terminalplays a “leading” role in the entire airport buildings. By integrating functionand technique with art, buildings should demonstrate the new style of Chinesebuildings but also fully embodies the profound culture and tourist features of Jingzhou,and much highlight the features of airport logo—emphasizing the impressioneffect of roof plane.

At this personalized building which displays “Jingzhousymbol”, its transportation function is the most distinguished and thepassenger-oriented “humanism sentiments and sense” is embodied everywhere. Theidea of energy conservation and environmental protection runs through thebuilding design. The most important is that, by considering the comparativestrong radiation power of Jingzhou, the terminal has already reserved space forthe future development in the design.
The design of Jingzhou Civilian Airport takes function asthe priority to create “functional” places and its interior design, by takingsimplicity, smooth processing, comfort and convenience at the core, will form amodernized airport integrated facility in terms of passenger waiting,commercial and trade service, and catering.
