Guangzhou Airport Sees Passenger Tide on Eve of Spring Festival
Baiyun Airport in Guangzhou, the provincial capital of Guangdong in south China, handled over 504 flights and 104 chartered planes on Jan. 26, as the upcoming Spring Festival sparked a flood of passengers into and out of the city.

The airport handled 38,000 passengers all up on Sunday, and the figure was expected to increase during the next few days, airport sources said.

More than 80 percent of outgoing passengers are migrant workers from other parts of China, mainly from the cities of Chongqing, Chengdu, Changsha and Wuhan.

As more flights have been arranged at the airport to handle the festival passenger tide, tickets for routes to 28 cities such as Dalian, Fuzhou and Hangzhou are currently plentiful.
