Regulators have decided not to allow China’s domestic airlines and regional/low-cost carriers from Japan and Korea to operate at Beijing Daxing International Airport (BDIA) when it opens in late 2018 or early 2019. Those airlines will continue to operate at Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA), located in the Chaoyang district, some 12 miles outside the city.
