Airports to help fuel traffic integration

As part of the transportation integration process in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster, local authorities have strengthened efforts to improve the civil aviation network to enable it to meet customer demand.

Beijing is building its third civil airport - the Daxing International Airport - which will be the second-largest capacity airport in the city, following the Beijing Capital International Airport. The facility, located adjacent to Daxing district in Beijing and Langfang in Hebei province, will be operational in 2019 and is expected to carry 120 million passengers by 2050.

Meanwhile, Tianjin Binhai International Airport and Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport have already taken measures to diversify their services and facilitate journeys.
