Shanghai-based airlines on Friday completed the first massive test run at the Beijing's new starfish-shaped Daxing International Airport to assess its operational readiness and fix possible problems.





The test runs, which lasted nearly 6 hours and involved more than 6,000 participants, saw China Eastern airline deploy over 1,100 simulated passengers, 400 pieces of check-in luggage machines, 122 support vehicles and 80 information systems for the trial. A facial recognition check-in facility was also unveiled for the first time.







The £9 billion (₦4.1 trillion) airport, which is scheduled to be officially opened on September 30 --- which falls on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the People's Republic on Oct 1, 1949, will see five other major test runs in the coming weeks.





There will be a total of 787 tests involving 500 flights, 51,984 simulated passengers and 35,270 pieces of luggage over the six total test runs.





China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Air China and Xiamen Airlines had earlier in May sent their flagship models A380, A350-900, B747-8 and B787-9, respectively, for test, while over 50 airlines have expressed their interest in operating from the airport.

At 1 million square metres or about the size of 140 football pitches, the shining starfish-shaped terminal, is the world’s biggest single terminal building. It also boasts of train station and metro line that will put the entire projects cost to about $23.7b or about ₦8.5 tillion.



The new Airport, designed to take pressure off the overcrowded Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA), is expected to welcome over 100 million passengers by 2040--- making it the world's busiest airports.

The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the US is currently the busiest in the world, followed by Beijing’s Capital International Airport, both with tens of millions more passengers every year than their nearest rivals.

Is there supposed to be a hyphen between test and run? China test - runs

Or is it okay like that? China test runs?

Mad guys

Nigerian government are busy spending millions importing grasses and toothpicks, even traveling in our airports is a risk itself.

Nigerian planes are in the same conditions with danfo and LT buses.

See airport.

Ours in Nigeria is not different from China public toilet. The other day I went to Abuja airport, I could see rats having meeting at the roof and the outcome of it was after heavy rainfall, the whole lounge became messed up.

Come to think of it, we were on same level with these people in the mid 20th century. What a shame!

Less than seventy years ago, China was struggling. Less than ten years ago, Nigeria had hope to be better.

Lol


We have ruga

And three senators from bayelsa

The United States is going to the moon again in 2024 to build a space center for advance research and launch of space military force, India will launch probe to the side moon on July 22, China has just built a state of the art airport to boost tourism and transportation. But my darling Nigeria is battling with resettlement of cows and appointment of ministers.

Buhari use four years to build just a runway and we no hear word during election

I think if we dont have death penalty for corruption, we will never reach this level of development.. never

China is rising so fast even the US is scared shitless..... Russia were fast to pick them as allies and have never regretted

Chinese always in the news for a good reason ....

Country that works

Nigeria where are we ?

It's not built to support the BCIA but to intimidate it.

What a masterpiece!
