China’s Daxing International Eyes September Launch
The new Beijing airport was scheduled to open on September 30, but it could open ahead of schedule.

Beijing’s upcoming mega-airport, Daxing International, is one step closer to opening ahead of its planned September 30 launch date following the successful completion of six comprehensive simulation exercises, Chinese regulators announced on Wednesday. According to an agency statement, a final round of inspections was also carried out between August 28 and 30, identifying 157 shortcomings. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) did not elaborate on the findings but said the airport could become operational as of September 15 pending rectification of all outstanding issues.
