The latest airport to implement Point Merge is Zhengzhou-Xinzheng, China’s 12th largest airport in terms of passenger movements. Zhengzhou becomes the 4th Chinese airport to adopt Point Merge, following successful implementation at Shanghai-Pudong, Guangzhou-Baiyun and Shenzhen-Bao’an in previous years – China’s 2nd, 3rd and 5th busiest airports, with Shanghai and Guangzhou both making it into the world’s top 20 airports pre-pandemic.
The four other Point Merge implementations at major airports this year (Mexico City International, Toluca, Guadalajara, and São Paulo-Guarulhos) bring the total of Point Merge airports to 37 since initial deployments in 2011/12 in Oslo and Dublin, spanning 19 countries across 4 continents.
