This was announced over a year ago and has been discussed for a few years.
The official approval was in January 2013.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing...tional_Airport
This will actually be the third airport. Not sure what will happen to Nanyuan airport. I guess it will be closed.

ZBNY is a very small airport compared to ZBAA, so it can be hard to satisfy future passenger demands. And I believe even if it's not abandoned, it would be converted to a military only airport.

Slot restrictions will not be much of an issue when/if the new airport is complete, but flow control on the Shanghai, HK, and ULN (most flights to Europe) corridors will continue to be a problem if further steps aren't taken to open things up more.

Kinda difficult to build an airport in one year, when the conceptual
design hasn't even been completed.
XINJIA-AN, CHINA — Only six years after opening what was the largest airport terminal in the world, Beijing this week gave the final green light for a new airport just as big, to open in 2020.
