Talk:Busiest airports of the People's Republic of China by passenger traffic

Lists
Why the lists covered all the way down to the 32nd busiest airport, instead of the 30th? And why would Hong Kong and Macau be on the list, while even the CAAC doesn't bother to do so? Karota (talk) 21:34, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

And where are Taipei and Kaohsiung airports? Spaceteddy (talk) 17:36, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

1) Hong Kong and Macau are part of the PRC, hence why they are on the list.

2) Taipei and Kaohsiung are in a different country, Taiwan - Republic of China. .. This list is for the People's Republic of China. ...

Special Note: Update made to the list, Chongqing's airport is in Yubei district, not Jiangbei - despite the use in the airport name. CKG is quite a ways north of Jiangbei District. ..

The last four entries in the 2008 list are incorrect. It appears that places 37 through 40 on the 2009 list were simply copied onto the 2008 list. I am correcting this by referring to the document in the citation, "2008年全国机场吞吐量排名", which has the correct values and entries.Serenerandomness (talk) 03:15, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Also, the rank change column in the 2008 list looks like it has been copied from the 2009 list. I will see what I can do about that.Serenerandomness (talk) 03:32, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal: Integrating passenger traffic, aircraft traffic and cargo traffic in one single list
I created a new list of the busiest airports in China. I have several goals with the new article that this or other articles doesn't offer. 1) The main goal is to integrate passenger traffic, aircraft traffic and cargo traffic in one whole list. This is because of the imbalance produced in having passenger traffic as the main reference of "a busy airport". The information of aircraft movements and cargo movements are very important in an analysis of how busy an airport is (there are also another variables, like international passenger traffic or departures/arrivals, but the statistics offered by CAAC don't include these results). This will help to create a precedent in preparing other countries' lists the same way. 2) The new list is a ranking of the 100 busiest airports in China. Nowadays China is a huge market for civil aviation, with almost 300 airports working officially. I think a new, extensive list will help to give projection to other "smaller" airports, although every year the traffic flows grow impressively. 3) The least important reason. Most of the airports lists uses the word "in" instead of "of". The new list follows the order of "List of the busiest airports in China", the same as the case with the United States', the United Kingdom, Brazil, Central America, Europe, and so on. I will appreciate your comments and also your help in merging the article to a new list. --JorgeRodriguez (talk) 15:21, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
