Beijing Daxing opened in September 2019 with what is one of the largest single airport terminals ever built — a starfish-shaped design by Zaha Hadid Architects in which six curving piers radiate from a central hall, so no gate is more than about 600 meters from the center. The current schedule feed lists 198 airports in 39 countries connected to Beijing.
Its position south of the city, roughly between Beijing and Tianjin, is served by a dedicated express rail line into central Beijing.
Beijing Daxing International Airport is the 35th busiest airport in the world — it handled 53,618,949 passengers in 2025, according to ACI World's annual ranking.
