Hongqiao Airport's runways taking off before the terminal

Hongqiao International Airport's second terminal won't be open for business for another two weeks, but they're opening up the second runway a little sooner. While Shanghai Daily doesn't go into detail about why they're doing this, apparently the runway will be ready on March 11, five days before the March 16 opening of Terminal 2. On that day, Shanghai will be able to claim the superlative of the city with the "most runways in China." Yippee!
