Six airlines transfer to Beijing Airport’s T2

Six airlines under the Hainan Airlines Group transferred their operation from the Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 at the Beijing Capital International Airport on June 27.
But the international flights and Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan flights of Hainan Airlines, Grand China Airlines, Deer Jet and Grand China Express will still operate at Terminal 2. The transfer of operations to Terminal 1 will reduce the check-in procedure of passengers from 30 minutes to 20 minutes. Passengers can also finish flight transfer in the airport within one hour. BCIA’s Terminal 1 has 13 air bridges, which can handle about 10 million passengers per year. Today Hainan Airlines occupies 13-14 percent share of the Beijing air transport market. Using Terminal 1 will bring convenience to the airline. For the transfer, the Beijing Airport retrofitted facilities according to the requirements of Hainan Airlines by removing shops and expanding space for passengers.
