CAAC details airline allocation plan for two Beijing airports

The Chinese aviation regulator has provided more details on how airlines will be divided between Beijing’s two airports when the new Daxing International opens in September. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) says foreign carriers, as well as those from Hong Kong and Macau, can choose which Beijing airport they want to operate out of, including having a presence at both. China Southern Airlines and China Eastern Airlines, together with carriers under their groups, Beijing Capital Airlines and China United Airlines, will move to the new Daxing International, which is slated to open on 30 September. Air China, and airlines under its group, as well as Hainan Airlines and Grand China Air, will meanwhile remain at the existing Beijing Capital International airport
