A peek inside the biggest, busiest and most expensive airport ever built
Set to open its doors on September 30, 2019, the new Beijing Daxing International Airport has been completed at a cost of US$12 billion in preparation to operate as the capital’s second international airport—to alleviate existing pressure on Beijing Capital International Airport.
At 7.5 million square feet, the new airport is expected to accommodate 72 million passengers by 2025 and 100 million passengers by 2040, surpassing Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the US to become the world’s biggest and busiest by passenger traffic.
