Talk:Beijing Daxing International Airport

World's busiest airport??
The news sources that are cited here states that the new beijing Daxing Airport will become the world's busiest airport but it didn't state in terms of what. Atlanta's airport is currently the world's busiest airport in terms of general passenger traffic and aircraft movements but London Heathrow Airport is the world's busiest in terms of int'l passengers. When this airport is completed in 2017, will it surpass Atlanta as the world's busiest or will it surpass LHR in int'l passengers but ATL will remain the world's busiest?

 * I think it's just projected to be the world's busiest in terms of passenger traffic & (correspondingly) int'l psngr traffic. I think I read that somewhere but don't cite me that's just my two cents on this topic. Augend  (drop a line) 00:16, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Coordinates
Are utterly wrong. As they are, 39.40278°N, 116.08889°W is located in Hebei, not Daxing as stated within the article. GotR Talk 18:42, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well spotted. Updated now with coords from Daxing District article. HamTin (talk) 18:38, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

National flags for airlines
There were various discussions in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports about whether to add flag icons next to the airlines or destinations in. The WikiProject Airports/page content page listed some of the guidelines. But I think adding flags to airlines is a good idea since it distinguishes foreign airlines from domestic airlines. Are there any arguements to oppose this claim? (Page version) —Wei4Green (talk) 13:38, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Yes, a) it is not standard in the hundreds of other wiki pages on airports; b) there are airlines that do not have an obvious country- what flag would you put on Level esp for flights from Vienna? What flag on Norwegian Air International which is based and incorporated in Ireland? What flag on EasyJet Switzerland? —User:crescent22 (talk) 19:32, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

was the picture used color edited? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.205.199.244 (talk) 19:53, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
 * It definitely is. I don't know why they are using it. I think that this picture is more accurate, but not the best quality https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AerialViewBeijingDaxingTerminal1.jpg. I would prefer a full color image like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BCIA_Aerial.jpg   TheFirstVicar4 (talk) 19:31, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Not the biggest airport
Please don't keep adding that it is the biggest airport in the world. It is not. Other airports are bigger, for example Denver International Airport (33.5 sq mi compared to Beijing's 18 sq mi). The airport would be ranked 6th in size if you look at this web page published before it was built -. Even if you find sources that say it is the biggest airport, other news sources correctly reported that Beijing Daxing is the largest airport terminal, not the largest airport. Don't repeat other people's mistake here, doing it will only spread misinformation. Hzh (talk) 10:30, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
