On 28 March 1985, in order to adapt the civil aviation industry of Shandong Province to the economic development and opening-up needs of Shandong Province and the provincial capital Jinan, the People's Government of Shandong Province submitted a report to the State Council and the Central Military Commission on the construction of Jinan Xiangwangdian Civil Airport. On 11 August of the same year, a supplementary report on the construction of Jinan Civil Aviation Airport was issued.
On 15 November 1990, groundbreaking began at the airport.
On 26 July 1992, the airport was officially opened for navigation, replacing the now-closed Jinan Zhangzhuang Airport. On 17 December 1997, after being reviewed by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, its flight zone level was determined to be 4D.
In 2003, the expansion project of the terminal area was launched with an investment of 1.6 billion yuan, covering an area of 1300 acres.
On March 28, 2005, the terminal area expansion project was put into operation, including the new terminal building and apron projects. The project adopted 2010 as its target year and was designed to handle 8 million passengers annually, including 3,200 during peak hours.The newly constructed terminal building is 465 meters long from north to south, with a width of 120 to 50 meters and a maximum roof height of 32.8 meters. The total floor area is 80,000 square meters. The original terminal building was converted into a 14,000-square-meter cargo facility.
In March 2012, construction of the south concourse (south finger pier) began, with a total investment of approximately 735 million yuan, and an additional 480 acres of development land.
On December 30, 2015, the south concourse project was put into use. The newly opened concourse is located on the south side of the current terminal. It covers 29,400 square meters, consisting of the connecting corridor to the main terminal and the passenger concourse. The corridor is 127 meters long and 25 meters wide; the concourse is 300 meters long and 36 meters wide.The expansion also included 155,000 square meters of new apron, 13 additional boarding bridges (including two dual-end movable bridges), and new transfer and VIP security checkpoints. The terminal’s weak-current and security systems were upgraded as well.After the south concourse opened, the total terminal area reached 114,000 square meters, with 24 boarding bridges, supporting an annual throughput of 12 million passengers, 100,000 tons of cargo and mail, and 100,000 aircraft movements.
In February 2017, the Jinan Urban and Rural Construction Committee website released a bid announcement for the North Concourse Expansion of Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport.The north concourse, designed as an international concourse with transfer and connecting-flight functions, has a planned area of 54,700 square meters and will include 12 boarding bridges. The project also involves modifying parts of the existing taxiway facilities and building a temporary 60,000-square-meter parking area, including a 30,216-square-meter public parking lot and a 30,528-square-meter taxi holding area.Construction of the north concourse began in July 2017 and is expected to be completed in 2020, enabling Jinan Airport to meet the projected 18.23 million passengers by 2022.
On September 28, 2017, construction began on the second parallel taxiway and supporting apron project. With an investment of approximately 310 million yuan and a total construction period of 480 days, the project includes building a second parallel taxiway east of the main runway, expanding the existing apron, and constructing service roads. After completion, 11 new aircraft stands will be added, significantly improving runway efficiency, reducing aircraft waiting times, and enhancing overall operational capacity.
In October 2018, the airport's overnight passenger accommodation project received approval from the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. Located southwest of the existing terminal, the complex consists of a five-star hotel and a three-star hotel, with about 600 rooms and an estimated total investment of 600 million yuan.
According to the master plan for Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport, the long-term goal is the "3-4-8" development plan: three terminal buildings, four runways, and the capacity to handle 80 million passengers annually in the future.
In September 2019,CAAC approved a new master plan for the airport.[3]
