The construction for the airport already started last month and is expected to finish in 2015, if everything goes according to plan. It would be constructed over a 21 sq mile site, in Daxing, a district in the suburbs of Beijing. The airport is primarily an hour’s drive from the city centre, so the officials are also planning for an extension of the Beijing metro and high speed train service may also be made available.  

It was in the year, 2008, that a new terminal 3 had been opened due to the ever increasing fliers across the country. Due to this airport officials also had a tough task of scheduling flights. It is very interesting to note that London Heathrow airport is mostly used by various airlines that would be flying to different parts of the world. On the other hand, in China the passengers fly within the country rather than flying out of their country. It has been said that out of every 4 flight passengers in China’s airport, only 1 would turn out to be an international flier.

The Chinese aviation industry has been earning huge revenues. No wonder, they have greater plans to make it bigger, thus it would help in increasing their revenue in the process too. In the year 2010, they made huge profits, where the figures stood for a profit of 3.9 billion pounds. In order to meet with the growing demand, China will also be buying around 4300 new aircrafts.

We do not need a rocket scientist to tell us that China will be one of the most powerful nations of the world in the near future. They have witnessed massive and rapid economic expansion in each and every sector, which keeps their economic growth trajectory consistent and steady.
