Beijing Capital International Airport - Crowning Glory of China\'s CapitalAs you can probably guess from its name, Beijing Capital International
Airport is the main international airport serving Beijing, the capital of
Communist China (otherwise known as the People's Republic of China.) Thus,
it is the first Chinese facility you will see when you disembark in
Beijing. It is also the busiest airport in China, having rebounded
magnificently after the SARS scare in 2003. As of 2004, it gained the
prestige of being the busiest Asian airport based on aircraft movements,
besting other top Asian airports such as Haneda Airport (also called Tokyo
International Airport). |

as third in moving freight and cargo. |

Pudong International Airport is Shanghai's New International AirportPudong International Airport is also known as Shanghai Pudong International
Airport because it is located well within Shanghai, China, in the eastern
Pudong district. It came into existence in 1999 when Shanghai Hongqiao
International Airport was retired, so all the international air travel
capacity of the first airport was re-assigned to Pudong International
Airport. However, this does not mean that Shanghai Hongqiao International
Airport will not be heard from anymore since it will eventually be re-
assigned certain international flights by October 2007. |
