History and early development Before the opening of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport used to be main airport of Shanghai. During the 1990's, the expansion of Hongqiao was impossible when the city grew and surrounded Hongqiao. So then the government had to look for an alternative for Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport to take all of its international flights. A particular place was at the coast of the Pudong development zone to the East of Shanghai.

The airport opened on October 1, 1999, replacing Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport as Shanghai's international airport and taking over all of its international flights, including regional flights to Hong Kong and Macau (limited international services will resume at Hongqiao from October 2007 Shuttle flights to connect Tokyo, Shanghai in October, Channel NewsAsia, 25 June, 2007). A second identical runway was opened on March 17, 2005, the third runway set to become operational in the 4th quarter of 2007 and a fourth runway in planning stage. Construction of the second terminal is complete and scheduled to open by the end of 2007. The long-term plan calls for a total of three terminals, two satellite halls and five parallel runways, for a final capacity of 80 million passengers per year.

Traffic and expansion The airport was largely funded by a 40 billion yen (~400 million USD) grant from Japan. In 2004, the airport handled nearly 500 flights per day, carrying more than 21 million passengers per year in and out of China's most populated city. Since Pudong handles many airlines at rush hour times, most planes have to park on the apron. In order to solve this problem, Pudong is to open Terminal 2 by the end of 2007, which will be located behind the Terminal 1, the only terminal at this time for an additional capacity of 40 million passengers a year. Half of terminal 2 will dedicated to all of the Star Alliance carriers.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport is ranked 6th busiest in terms of world's busiest airports by cargo traffic, and 28th in terms of World's busiest airports by international passenger traffic. It is also ranked 40th in Passenger traffic, carrying 26,790,826 passengers in and out of the airport. It is 8th busiest airport in Asia in passenger traffic.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport had recently experienced massive increases, thus never falling below a 10% growth rate of cargo. From 2002 - 2003, it had seen near double growth of cargo traffic; 87.3% in that period. From 2002 - 2006, it has rose from 26th place to 6th place in cargo traffic, with cargo traffic tripling since 2002. In 2006, it had a growth rate of 16.8% while Narita (Tokyo) experienced a -0.5% decrease and Incheon with an 8.7% increase. It may surpass Narita International Airport within a few years and Incheon International Airport to become 4th place in cargo and later Hong Kong International Airport, which is the busiest cargo hub in Asia and 2nd largest in the world's busiest airports by cargo traffic.

Recently, China Southern Airlines stated that Shanghai Pudong International Airport will be home to its five Airbus A380s, however there is no statement if China Southern Airlines will have a hub in Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
