The main expansion project of Beijing Capital International Airport has passed a final inspection by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, making it the first officially accepted large construction project for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The completion of this expansion project also created favorable conditions for the airport's new terminal building to be opened in February 2008. The expansion project includes the 3,800-meter third runway, a new 4,300,000-square-meter aircraft parking area, additional area for a 125-plane parking lot, and the 986,000-square-meter Terminal Building 3.

The investment of this project totals about RMB27 billion, which aimes at increasing the airport's transportation capacity to annually handle 76 million passengers, 1.8 million tons of cargo and more than 500,000 aircraft movements by 2015. After expansion, the airport will be 1.6 times larger than its former space.
