Construction of new Beijing airport continues apace

Beijing, China’s capital, revealed construction progress for the Beijing Daxing International Airport on Friday, which is currently at the interior decoration stage. The airport is scheduled to start running by the middle of next year.

Located on the border of Beijing and Langfang, Hebei province, the new airport is Beijing’s second international airport and positioned to be a major international hub.

“We have adopted natural light in the terminal interior design as much as possible and innovated in construction of integrated transportation,” Zhang Ru, representative of the project headquarters, said on Friday.

She said the project includes five vertical and two horizontal integrated transportation networks, which will combine highways, inter-city railways, high speed railway and subways with the airport at the center.
