Beijing's two major airports will see the number of incoming and outgoing flights surge 44 percent during the Spring Festival travel rush compared with the same period last year.
Around 62,000 flights are expected to arrive at or depart from Beijing Capital International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport during the 40-day travel period, according to the North China Regional Administration of the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
The two airports expect the peak-travel period to start on January 14, during which they expect to handle 1,700 inbound and outbound flights per day.
Beijing Capital International Airport is expected to serve more than 4.8 million passengers during the travel rush, with a daily average of 121,000 passengers.
As of Sunday, international flights arriving in Beijing are no longer required to divert to other airports, as part of China's efforts to optimizes COVID-19 management.
Beijing Capital International Airport has already begun receiving the first international flight on Sunday since the rule changed, and several airlines have announced plans to resume international flights at Beijing Daxing International Airport starting from January 17.
