A number of sources have informed CARNOC.com that Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport has finally reopened its door to limited number of inbound flights from approximately 09:00 local time on May 13 despite some outbound commercial flights already took off from the airport since late evening on May 12.

According to earlier CARNOC.com report, the airport was temporarily shut down after a devastating earthquake occurred near Chengdu in China's Sichuan Province at roughly 14:30 local time on May 12. China's state media say the death toll now stands at almost 10,000 and is highly likely to rise much farther.
