Slipform pavers from Wirtgen have played important roles for the Beijing New International Airport project. The four Wirtgen slipform pavers have been used for the construction of the apron area for the new Chinese airport. The airport is scheduled to start operations on September 30th, 2019 and when it is complete, Beijing New International Airport will become the world's largest airport. The huge new facility will play a key transport role as Beijing is a major air passenger hub for Asia. The new airport is located 67km from China's capital city, along the border to Hebei province. It will relieve pressure on the existing airport north-east of Beijing, currently the world's second-largest in terms of passenger volume. The new airport is expected to handle 45 million passengers at first but will have a total capacity of 100 million.
