Beijing Daxing International Airport

Beijing Daxing International Airport: Beijing Daxing International Airport opened on September 26, 2019. The city’s newest gateway – already renowned for its unusual starfish shape- is expected to become a pivotal air traffic hub for international travel to and from China. It features some of the most cutting-edge technology (such as facial recognition technology) in operation throughout the airport. Most regional and international airlines are planning to move their operations to Daxing in 2020 if they choose not to operate at both Beijing airports. GA and business operations to ZBAD won’t be possible until early 2020, and the FBO will be due for completion at the end of 2020. Here are some more facts about Beijing Daxing.
