The security check process is also more automated, with the help of the latest X-ray technology.
LI XUEZHI, DIRECTOR INTELLIGENT SECURITY CHECK SYSTEM, BEIJING DAXING INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT "It can accommodate more than one passenger at a time with their luggage. It is very simple to use, first put the luggage box here, put the luggage inside, and then push it here, this is a set of self-help procedures."
A dynamic image system also helps match luggage with passengers for reference. The airport has also upgraded its facilities for disabled people. During comprehensive drills, many are also invited to experience these facilities. The signs inside the terminal are in various languages, also very easy to find and read. They include maps that show locations and boarding gates. One can hardly miss the inquiry terminal, with a large touch screen and a 24-hour hotline. Various technologies are installed in the custom gates.
GAO RUIFENG DEPUTY CHIEF, BEIJING CUSTOMS "When passengers proceed through the intelligent inspection gate, they go through the infra-red temperature detector above the gate. If their body temperature is high, it can be detected at once. In addition, we also have radioactive sources detectors."
The airport also provides a luxury shopping experience, with Beijing's largest duty-free shop, catering service and VIP lounge with both open and private environment, and a business district filled with hundreds of brands. At the end of each waiting lounge lies a garden, this is the Chinese Garden on the international departure level.
The airport is ready; it will be a gift to travelers going in and out of China as the nation celebrates its 70th Anniversary. Ning Hong, CGTN. Beijing.
