Beijing, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) — Beijing has set ambitious targets to boost the service capacity of its two international airports, Capital and Daxing, aiming for annual passenger and cargo turnover at these two airports to exceed 160 million person-times and 2.5 million tons, respectively, by 2030, local authorities said.
Over the next five years, the city will make efforts to increase the connectivity of its two local international airports with major global aviation hubs, important capital cities, and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. This was announced at a press conference on Tuesday by Lai Xianyu, deputy head of the Beijing Development and Reform Commission.
The satellite lounge project at Daxing Airport will begin soon to increase capacity for international passengers.
In terms of improving service quality, measures will be taken to further reduce waiting times from the completion of pre-flight formalities until the aircraft doors close, as well as ground taxi times, optimize and expedite customs procedures, and strengthen capacity for transfer and transit transportation. Efforts will also be made to improve the functioning of the adjacent business zone.
Currently, these two airports serve flights linking Beijing with more than 120 destinations in 64 countries and regions, ranking first in the country in terms of geographical coverage.
In 2024, Beijing Capital and Daxing Airports handled 117 million passengers, reaching a historical high.
In addition, Beijing served 4.85 million inbound and outbound foreign tourists in 2024, up 125 percent year-on-year. -0-
