Beijing Busy Building World’s Biggest Airport

Just how big will the biggest airport in the world be? Daxing airport is expected to handle 120 to 200 million passengers a year. That’s about three times the capacity of Heathrow’s current annual passenger flow. It will occupy a total of 54 square kilometers and boast nine runways. That’s almost Mark Wahlberg size!

It is due to be completed in 2015 and will be Beijing’s third airport — after Beijing Capital International Airport and the semi-military Nanyuan Airport. That might seem a bit excessive, but according to Li Jiaxing, the minister in charge of China’s Civil Aviation Administration, it is “not possible to add even one more flight to Beijing Capital’s tight daily schedule.”
