Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK)
Airport Information

(Beijing, China)

The gateway into the capital of China and the most important aviation hub in the country, Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) serves almost 80 million people each year, making it one of the busiest airports in Asia and the world's number nine. With construction underway on a new terminal in time for the 2008 Olympic Games, Beijing Airport is well poised to continue to act as one of the largest and most state-of-the-art airports in the region.

Beijing Capital International Airport terminal is located around 27 km / 17 miles from Beijing city centre and close to the suburbs of Kailiying, Shunihsien and Shunyi. Air China stands out as being the airport's most significant airline by far and is based in Terminal 2, serving some 130+ domestic locations and around 40 international destinations alone.


The dedicated Airport expressway leads south-west from the airport to downtown Beijing, offering fast access to the city by express bus, hotel shuttles or taxis. There is a car rental booth at Beijing Airport that can organise car hire with the world's leading agencies. However, you won't be able to rent a car unless you have a Chinese driving license issued in China, and therefore most car rental rates quoted include a personal driver. Beijing Airport is always especially busy, and those concerned about potential delays and baggage problems can enjoy peace of mind by investing in single trip travel insurance prior to their departure.
