[8] In May 2023, the airport cargo hub station building and part of the supporting second runway taxiway project officially started, which also marked the official start of the airport expansion.

The general revision plan of the airport, which includes the construction of a new second runway, the extension of the first runway, the construction of a new Terminal 3, and a comprehensive transportation hub, has been approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Relying on the air passenger and cargo demand in southern Jiangsu, a first-class port will be opened.

It was eventually built into a total of 3 terminals with 2 runways, T1, T2, and T3, with a designed annual passenger throughput capacity of 25 million passengers and a cargo and mail throughput capacity of 1.5 million tons.

There are also direct buses from the airport to Wuxi downtown and Suzhou downtown; the ticket office is located at the airport bus service counter in the ground floor lobby of T2.
