I see the Wikipedia entry also now lists PKX as the IATA code. It didn't until recently. If true, this surprises me that China would want a code so clearly based on the old Romanization of the city's name. PEK is well established and was clearly in place long ago for Capital Airport. Why PKX for a new code being chosen from scratch? I like DXG or something more Pinyin-y.
