According to Li, the expansion of Zhengzhou Airport in Henan Province has been completed; the work on expanding Wuhan Airport, Tianyuan Airport in Shanxi and Changsha Airport in Hunan has also been started; and the reconstruction of Nanchang Airport and Hefei Airport are being reviewed. And the six small airports to be added will be located in Bengbu, Jiuhuashan, Yichun, Zhumadian, Yueyang and Hengyang, respectively.
