Its nickname “starfish” was given to it by Chinese media for its shape of five concourses connected to a main hall, Daxing aims to reduce walking for passengers, long a complaint against many new mega-hubs.
The airport authority has promised a distance of no more than 600 meters between security checkpoints and the remotest gates.
Construction of the mammoth project began in 2014 and the cost is $11.5 billion US dollars, It is estimated that there are more than 40,000 workers currently on site.
Officials claimed that the design of the airport is a truly integrated transportation hub that would see high-speed rail, inter-city services and downtown-to-airport express trains all stopping right beneath the terminal. Additionally, airport authority declared that Daxing‘s multi-directional runway design will improve operational efficiency in the air.
