Talk:Busiest airports of the People's Republic of China by cargo traffic

Merger proposal: Integrating passenger traffic, aircraft traffic and cargo traffic in one single list

edit

I created a new list of the busiest airports in China. I have several goals with the new article that this or other articles doesn't offer. 1) The main goal is to integrate passenger traffic, aircraft traffic and cargo traffic in one whole list. This is because of the imbalance produced in having passenger traffic as the main reference of "a busy airport". The information of aircraft movements and cargo movements are very important in an analysis of how busy an airport is (there are also another variables, like international passenger traffic or departures/arrivals, but the statistics offered by CAAC don't include these results). This will help to create a precedent in preparing other countries' lists the same way. 2) The new list is a ranking of the 100 busiest airports in China. Nowadays China is a huge market for civil aviation, with almost 300 airports working officially. I think a new, extensive list will help to give projection to other "smaller" airports, although every year the traffic flows grow impressively. 3) The least important reason. Most of the airports lists uses the word "in" instead of "of". The new list follows the order of "List of the busiest airports in China", the same as the case with the United States', the United Kingdom, Brazil, Central America, Europe, and so on. I will appreciate your comments and also your help in merging the article to a new list. --JorgeRodriguez (talk) 15:34, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
