Beijing has unveiled a $12 billion airport that's the biggest in the world — here's the first look
Beijing is getting ready to unveil a brand new airport that's set to become the world's largest.
The Beijing Daxing Airport is being built 42 miles south of the Chinese capital. It's a looming steel infrastructure meant to relieve pressure on Beijing's existing airport, which opened a new terminal in 2008 ahead of the Olympic games, according to Reuters.

Beijing broke ground on the project in 2014 under President Xi Jinping.
The Daxing Airport is 42 miles south of Beijing and will be accessible by expressway and high-speed train. Technically, it's located in the Hebei province, but its proximity to the capital should relieve some stress from Beijing Capital International Airport.
The Beijing Capital International Airport is already bigger than most. It had the second-highest total passenger traffic in 2016, falling just short of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's passenger tally.
