Beijing’s new mega-airport ready to open

CNN

Beijing CNN — China is poised to open a new mega-airport to the south of Beijing, already home to the world’s second-busiest aviation hub, ahead of the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic. Beijing Daxing International Airport will see its first commercial flight take off around September 20, according to Chinese state media, with main tenant China Southern planning to deploy an Airbus A380, the world’s biggest airliner, for the maiden journey. But aviation officials and airline executives predict reduced delays at Daxing thanks to its multi-directional runway design that improves operational efficiency in the air, as well as its location south of Beijing – eliminating many flight detours aimed at avoiding the city’s large “no-fly” zone. Alliance shakeups, time slot shifts Main Daxing tenant China Southern plans to deploy an Airbus A380 for its maiden journey from the new airport. It was going to be a crown jewel for Skyteam, one of the three global airline alliances, with China-based members China Southern and China Eastern – each assigned 40% of the new airport’s departure and arrival time slots by the government – moving all their Beijing flights to Daxing to become anchor carriers.
