Plans to construct a new international airport in the south of Beijing to cope with increased passenger flow demands have been approved by the National Development and Reform Commission.
The proposed project is estimated to cost around 13 billion USD and will be located in Daxing District. According to the NDRC, the airport will have four runways and a terminal covering an area of 700,000 square meters. If all goes to plan the airport will be operational by 2018.
Hopefully this will go some way in helping the overloaded Beijing which was recently ranked as having the worst rate of flight delays in the world.
