Beijing Daxing International Airport (Chinese: 北京大兴国际机场) is a planned new international airport serving Beijing. The name of the future airport has not been made official yet.
The airport is to be built in Daxing District and parts of Guangyang District in Langfang, Hebei, located 46 km (29 mi) south of city center. The airport will be located on the southern part of Daxing along the border with Hebei province. The new airport is expected to serve Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The airport will cover an area of 2,680 hectares (6,600 acres).
The projected completion date for the new airport is September 2019. A new rapid transit line is planned that will connect the airport to Beijing South Railway Station with a journey time of 30 minutes. All flights from Beijing Nanyuan Airport, which is currently only used by China United Airlines, will be transferred to Daxing.
The airport's master plan has been designed by airport consulting firm NACO and will feature a ground transportation centre providing the airport with public transportation links to high-speed rail, metro, expressways, Beijing Airport Bus routes, local buses and inter-airport transportation system.
The terminal building was designed by ADPI in collaboration with Zaha Hadid. It will consist of a central hub with six curved spokes.
A second airport for Beijing was proposed in 2008. By 2012, the existing Beijing Capital International Airport was running at near its full design capacity.
Early media reports during September 2011 suggested that there could be up to 9 runways: 8 runways for civil aviation plus one runway dedicated to military usage. It would replace Beijing Capital International Airport (which had 83 million passengers in 2013, second most in the world) as the main airport of Beijing and the largest in China and was being planned as a domestic-only airport. The airport was planned to be able to handle 120 to 200 million passengers a year, which, if capacity were fully used, would make it the world's busiest airport by passenger traffic, surpassing Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
