history
The airport, which is also an aviation hub , is an addition to the previous Beijing airport in the north of the city, whose capacity was reaching its limits; For three years in a row it was the second most passenger airport in the world after Atlanta airport .
After an international competition was announced, the English architect Norman Foster took on the planning of the entire project, which was once estimated at 14 billion US dollars. The costs amounted to 63 billion USD until 2019, the equivalent of 51 billion euros .
The 700,000 square meter terminal was designed according to plans by the architectural office of Zaha Hadid Architects and the French office ADP Ingénierie (a subsidiary of ADP ).
The permit was granted in January 2013 and construction work on the taxiways began in December 2014. The project was supported by the Paris airport operator ADP. In September 2015, construction began on the terminal building, which has six star-shaped side arms. This means that the maximum footpaths that passengers can walk are limited to 600 meters. In the first stage, four runways were built. 20,000 people in 24 villages were resettled.
The airport Beijing Nanyuan , who possessed only a runway, was due to the commissioning of the new airport just one day later, on 26 September 2019 closed.
Location and connection
Distance to the center of the capital
The site, which is one of the largest in the world, is located 46 kilometers south of the city center ( Tian'anmen Square ) of Beijing in Daxing .
Long-distance and high-speed trains
In 2018, construction began on a 92-kilometer high-speed line that is to connect Beijing's West Railway Station in the Fengtai district with Xiong County in Hebei Province and will have a stop at Beijing-Daxing Airport about halfway. The section between Beijing and Daxing Airport, designed for a speed of 250 km / h, was opened on September 26, 2019. The journey time is 28 minutes. Commissioning of the section to Xiong (350 km / h) is planned for the end of 2020.
A high-speed connection to Tianjin West Railway Station is due to open in 2022 after three years of construction.
Another 112-kilometer line is to connect the new airport and Beijing airport with several intermediate stops in the districts of Daxing, Guangyang and Tongzhou . The first, almost 40 km long section between Daxing Airport and Lángfāng (Hebei Province) has been under construction since the beginning of 2019 and is scheduled to open at the end of 2022 after around two years of construction. The maximum speed on this route is 200 km / h.
