Although the COVID-19 pandemic has gradually been brought under control in China, the airport will still carry out strict procedures to prevent the spread of the virus, such as testing body temperatures and requiring passengers to present their "health code", Li said.

He also noted the weather forecast showed no signs of extreme weather in Beijing during the holiday.

Beijing Capital International Airport — the second-busiest airport in the world after the US's Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — handled more than 100 million passenger trips last year.

The capital's other aviation hub —  Beijing Daxing International Airport, which opened last Sept 25 — is expected to see 750,000 trips during the holiday, the airport said on Friday.

The new airport aims to take pressure off Beijing Capital.
