All inbound flights at Daxing airport transferred to Beijing Capital Int'l Airport

All inbound flights at Beijing Daxing International Airport have been transferred to Beijing Capital International Airport as Beijing steps up efforts in minimizing the risk of imported COVID-19 cases, said local authorities Saturday.

Starting from March 10, the Beijing Capital International Airport designated Zone D of Terminal 3 as a special zone for inbound flights from countries and regions with serious coronavirus situations, said Zhao Ying, deputy general manager of Beijing Capital International Airport Co., Ltd., at a press conference in Beijing.

All passengers disembarking from such flights need to complete the process of health quarantine, including body temperature screening and information inspection within the about 100,000-square-meter area, which is isolated from other passenger arriving channels and prevents cross-infection at the airport.

The area has received 31 inbound flights and 5,138 passengers from countries and regions with serious coronavirus situations since March 10, said Zhao.
