Another New Airport
Beijing Capital International Airport has been ranked as the world's second-busiest airport for three consecutive years.
It handled 81.8 million passenger trips last year, a 4.2 percent increase from the previous year, second only to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in the United States.
Shanghai's two airports handled more than 78 million passenger trips in 2012.
Will commence next year, (will that be building or planning, I don't know) and the airport is scheduled to open before the end of 2018.
It will cost at least 70 billion yuan ($11.2 billion) and have six runways for civil use and one for military use,
The airport will be able to handle 70 million passenger trips annually by 2025,
A rail line will be built to connect the airport with the city center,
Heathrow handled 70 million in 2012.
