Flights of fancy
The unfriendly skies
Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport is closing all the tobacco smoking rooms in its domestic and international terminals starting from tomorrow, according to a Xinhua News Agency report.
The airport terminals have been designated non-smoking areas under new smoking control regulations brought in by the city of Hangzhou, the capital of China’s Zhejiang Province.
At the same time, the airport is setting up new smoking areas outside the terminals.
Meanwhile, the news agency reported that the airport is being expanded as part of a project that will make it the second largest aviation hub in the Yangtze river delta region, after Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
