What year did Beijing Daxing International Airport come into operation?

Beijing Daxing International Airport held a commissioning ceremony on September 25, 2019, which is a day in the history of civil aviation worth remembering forever. After seven comprehensive simulation exercises and three verification test flights, Daxing Airport officially went into operation today, ushering in its "phoenix wings" moment of glory.

Daxing Airport is a huge airport with a total investment of 80 billion yuan, an annual passenger throughput of up to 100 million, and 800,000 airplane landings and takeoffs. After the opening of the airport, Daxing Airport and the capital airport will gradually develop into a "double hub" with international competitiveness.

From the start of construction in September 2015 to the completion of the industry acceptance of the general inspection and use of the final examination of the permit on August 30, 2019, Daxing Airport, the world's largest airport took only four and a half years to build, creating a stunning "China speed" and "China miracle! "

ADP, the designer of Daxing Airport

Jessie Gao, chief architect of Ingenierie (ADPI) Asia-Pacific, said the design of Daxing Airport has a strong correlation and integration with Chinese culture.

If the capital airport in Shunyi is compared to a dragon, the five-finger corridor of the new airport in Daxing is shaped like a phoenix, with the dragon in the north and the phoenix in the south, which embodies the symbolism of "dragon and phoenix presenting auspiciousness" in traditional Chinese culture.
