New Beijing airport to be built in Daxing District
Municipal government officials in Daxing District announced it has been selected as the site for the new Beijing airport, the city's third major airport. The city is served by the small joint-use Beijing Nanyun airport and the much larger Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA), China's busiest airport. In Feb-2011, traffic at BCIA was up 14% year-on-year, to 6.18 million.
