City hopes to lure more with new airport services

A swipe of an electronic passport and a fingerprint scan - it now takes an average of 6-10 seconds for travelers from both home and abroad to clear customs at Terminal 2 at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Qualified Chinese and foreign travelers can now enjoy the benefits of the self-service channel when clearing customs for international flights.

From 2008, Chinese citizens holding electronic passports have enjoyed the benefits of self-service when entering customs at the airport.
