 Beijing Daxing Airport costs $17 billion and an annual capacity of 100 million passengers.

Designed by the late Zaha Hadid, Beijing Daxing Airport was engineered for extreme efficiency — with a radial layout so precise that passengers can walk to any gate in under 8 minutes. Its unique starfish shape isn’t just for aesthetics; it dramatically reduces transfer times, optimizes operations, and eases passenger flow, especially in a country with one of the highest air travel volumes in the world.

Beyond its scale, the airport is a symbol of China’s technological edge — integrating facial recognition, AI-powered security systems, and smart baggage handling. With an initial annual capacity of 72 million passengers and plans to exceed 100 million, Daxing is more than a transport hub — it's a blueprint for the future of global aviation.
