Beijing's new airport will be on the other side of the megalopolis from the current Capital Airport, although details of how they will be linked have not yet emerged.

Whenever the plane taxi for take-off, there's always a long queue!

If they can build a high speed rail network criss-crossing the nation in less than a decade, the new airport will also go from blueprint to opening tape-cut ceremony in less than five years.
Whether it'll be safe will be another matter.

It's not just a new airport, it would be the largest airport in the world. 8 runways, 400 million passengers?!?!?!

China better come up with a solution for easy transfers in between multiple city airports. Its starting to become a big problem all around China.
If they come with a solution that is not rail then they may be able to sell it to other countries.

Why split between two airports? The govt there has had practice displacing millions of people so I'm surprised they didn't go "Three Gorges Dam" style and build a ultra-mega airport in one location.
