WHY

BEIJING NEEDS

ANOTHER AIRPORT?

Built in 1958, the Beijing Capital International Airport has been at maximum capacity for years. It became one of the world's 30 largest airports by passenger traffic in 2002, and has remained the world's second busiest since 2010.

The figure on the right shows annual passenger traffic over the past 40 years, and the designed capacity of each major expansion project.

The capacity expansion projects were designed to increase capacity in larger steps over years. However, the steps were still not large enough to catch up with passenger and air traffic growth.

HOW WILL THE

TWO AIRPORTS SHARE

PASSENGER AND AIR TRAFFIC?

The Beijing Daxing International Airport is targeting passenger traffic of 45 million and 72 million in 2021 and 2025, respectively. The Beijing Capital International Airport will look to lower its passenger traffic to 82 million passengers by 2025.

A phased plan for the transfer of flight operations will be arranged between Beijing Capital International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport.

China's civil aviation

China, who is leading Asia's aviation boom, now owns about 3,700 civil airplanes, with around 300 new planes – equivalent to a major airline – added to the fleet each year.

Its reform and opening-up policy adopted in 1978 ushered in the rapid development of air travel. In 2005, China became the second largest aviation market, only behind the United States.

Meanwhile, the safety of air travel has been given special focus. Chinese airlines have flown safely for 100* consecutive months, with an accident rate** that is one tenth of the world average.

China is on course to become the world’s largest civil aviation market by the mid-2020s.
The state-of-the-art Daxing airport is sure to give it a boost.
