Guangzhou Airport becomes complaint focus
By Xu Deng, South China News | Apr. 25, 2006
The Export Commodity Fair for each year came again, and Guangzhou's New Baiyun International Airport became the complaint focus this year again, many complained that the "distance" from leaving the plane to getting aboard the bus has been way too far, and it took them more than 50 minutes to aboard the bus from baggage reclaim area. On April 23rd, a number of travel agencies, which organised businesspersons to attend Guangdong Commodity Fair in previous years, have suspended the plans to organise business groups attending the event this year.
It is known that, in other better-designed airports such as Hong Kong, Sydney, Bangkok & Cebu and so on, the area between arrival hall and coach bus pick-up/drop-off point, not only is the walking distance relatively reasonable, but also wheelchair-and-pusher-friendly with full covered channels.
Experts in the tourism industry says that the final solution for Guangzhou's New Baiyun International Airport is to set up disabled-accessible underground channels linked to the car park and other key points directly in order to avoid the so-called 'artificial bottle-neck' because of the insufficient lifts available.
