History
Since Beijing-Nanyuan was overloaded for the increasing traffic volume in the last decades and Beijing Capital Airport had already reached its capacity limit at the beginning of the new millennium, plans for a new second airport were elaborated in 2008. Construction then officially began in December 2014, with the first final phase of construction completed after almost five years with the official opening on 25th September, 2019.
