Beijing tightens rules for airports

The Beijing government has issued new airport rules with an eye on the growing number of conflicts between passengers and carriers in recent years.

The rules forbid entering an airport-controlled area without an airport pass, entering a taxiway, forcibly boarding and occupying an aircraft, climbing over and destroying airports' protective fencing and other acts that threaten air transport safety and disturb airport order.

The list was part of a series of administrative measures at Beijing civil airports released by the city's legal affairs office.
