After a construction period of only four years, the new international airport in Beijing, China, has been put into operation. At the ceremony, China’s state and party leader Xi Jinping was there to mark the opening of the mega-airport.
The airport in Daxing, some 50km south of the city centre, is the largest airport in the world in terms of space. By 2021 it will be used by around 45 million passengers a year, and China says this number will later double to up to 100 million.
