Have you ever taken a flight from Beijing Daxing International Airport (BDIA)? After opening on Sept 25, BDIA drew attention not just for its design , but also for its many high-tech facilities (设施) and services.

The new airport, seated in the southernmost part of Beijing, is made up of a main terminal (航站楼) ,a supporting service building and a parking lot.

Together, they cover an area of about 1.4 million square meters, which is equal to 63 Tian'anmen Squares, according to Beijing Review.

The new airport is expected to handle(处理) 45 million passenger trips a year by 2022 and 72 million by 2025, China Daily reported. With more runways planned, the new airport will eventually handle more than 100 million passengers each year. That's around the total population of the UK and Canada combined(总共的).

The airport has many new technologies that make it smarter and more efficient (有效率的). It is the world's first airport with a double-deck departure and arrival (双进双出) design for its terminal building.“It's more efficient for passengers than any other large airport terminal of the same size in the world," Guo Yanchi, the chief engineer in charge of construction (建造)，told China Daily.

According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, 86 percent of check-ins can be done through self service check in kiosks (自助值机-体机) and 76 percent of luggage can be checked automatically (自动地) with the help of self service bag-drop machines. Other technologies, such as a facial recognition (人脸识别) system, allow passengers to have a quicker check-in and boarding process.

The airport will also use a robot-operated parking system. Drivers just need to park their cars in given areas. Robots will then carry them to an empty space. When collecting their cars, drivers simply need to scan a parking ticket to find out where to collect their cars.
