Beijing’s New Terminal
Beijing just opened up its new airport terminal – world’s largest and most advanced airport building. It’s not only a great technological advancement but a great passenger experience. The opening last month was announced by a group 10 musicians that played string instruments at an opening ceremony attended by Chinese officials. “It is the epitome of China’s fast-growing economy and portrays our strong state power,” said Zhang Guobao, deputy director of National Development and Reform Commission, the country’s main economic planning agency.
The 14 million-square-foot terminal and ground transportation center are part of a bigger agenda: preparing the country for the upcoming Olimpics.
According to airport officials, at least 64 million passengers are expected to transit the airport this year, up from 50 million last year and 20 million in 2000.

Wow. The last picture. What if there was a pursuit going on and the suspects shot at that airplane or something. That would be problematic.
