00:00Taiwan's aviation officials are raising safety concerns over a new airport being built in China,
00:06just a few kilometers from Taiwan's outlying Jinmen Islands.
00:11The Xiang'an Airport in the coastal city of Xiamen is set to open next year
00:16and sits just over 9 kilometers from Jinmen's local airport.
00:20Taiwan's Civil Aviation Administration says some flight paths could overlap
00:25and it's urging China to discuss air traffic coordination.
00:29China has not responded to its request.
00:32Satellite images show that over the past decade,
00:34China has expanded the island where Xiang'an Airport is located,
00:38bringing it even closer to Jinmen.
