First commercial flights from Beijing’s new international airport take off. More here:
BEIJING - The first commercial flights from Beijing’s new Daxing International airport took off on Wednesday - an airport that cost $63 billion to build, is roughly the size of 100 football fields and is expected to become one of the world’s busiest.
Shaped like a phoenix - though to some observers it is more reminiscent of a starfish - the airport was designed by famed Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid. It boasts four runways and is expected to handle up to 72 million passengers a year by 2025, eventually reaching 100 million. A China Southern Airlines Airbus A380 flight to Guangzhou in the country’s south was the first to fly out.
The new airport is, however, about 46 km away from central Beijing, almost twice the distance of Capital airport. An express train from Daxing will take about 20 minutes to reach the south of Beijing.
