BEIJING, July 2 (Xinhua) — Beijing Daxing International Airport, the largest airport in the Chinese capital, expects passenger traffic to rise to over 9.52 million in July and August, the peak summer holiday period.
From July 1 to August 31, Daxing Airport is expected to handle 60,400 flights, receiving and sending 9.52 million passenger times, up 4.18 percent and 4.41 percent, respectively, compared to a year earlier. The peak of traffic is expected on August 5, when up to 1,031 flights will pass through the airport, and the passenger flow will amount to 170,500 passenger times.
The surge is driven by a mix of students, tourists and relatives visiting, with destinations such as the relatively cooler cities in China’s northeast and southwest, Southeast Asian countries and some European cities including London, Moscow and Amsterdam becoming particularly popular.
The simplified visa procedures are helping to boost cross-border tourism. In July and August, the peak summer holiday season, the Daxing Airport checkpoint is expected to handle an average of 100 international flights per day, with an inbound and outbound passenger flow of 17,000 people. Since the beginning of this year, the airport’s total inbound and outbound passenger flow has exceeded 2.7 million people. -0-
