The flight volume at Beijing's two airports, Beijing Capital International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport, witnessed their first peak on Friday, with number of daily flights exceeding 1,000 for the first time since optimization of epidemic control, the CAAC North China Region Administration said.
Across the New Year's Day holidays, a total of 2,960 flights are expected to be operated out of the two airports while the peak for returning passengers is expected to take place on Monday. People are mainly heading to warmer holiday destinations such as Chengdu in Southwest China's Sichuan Province and Guangzhou in South China's Guangdong Province.
