China is planning to construct what would be the world’s largest cargo airport, near Beijing. The authorities plan a 2017 opening for the nine runway airport which is estimated to be a US$4.8B project. State-owned China Radio International said that the as-yet-unnamed airport would have nine runways and handle 5.5 million tonnes of freight a year, once it opens for business in October 2017. The airport will be located in rural Daxing and cover almost 2,700ha.
