A quanto letto dall'articolo tradotto dall'olandese, sarà il più grande aeroporto del mondo, capace di gestire fino a 130 milioni di passeggeri, e dotato di 8 piste.

Per comodità ecco la traduzione dell'articolo, ed in fondo il link originale:

Dutch design world's biggest airport

The Dutch engineering firm NACO (Netherlands Airport Consultants), the winning master plan for the newly built airport in the Chinese capital Beijing.

New Beijing International Airport, the largest airport in the world, with eight runways and an ultimate capacity of 130 million passengers per year. The airport will be in area roughly as large as the area within the ring road of Amsterdam.

The existing Beijing airport, Beijing Capital International Airport is the busiest one in the world with 74 million passengers in 2010. By comparison airport processed 45 million passengers last year. The coming years, the Beijing airport reach its maximum capacity and will require an airport to be built.
Terminal 3

NACO, part of engineering consultancy DHV, has been active in China since 1984. The company was involved in the development of more than twenty airports in the country.

NACO has designed the massive Terminal 3 at Beijing Airport today. That terminal was just before the Olympics opened.

The new airport is south of downtown Beijing in the Daxing district, to lie.
Sustainable

NACO says they have won partly by the design of infrastructure around the airport.

"A dense network of public transport, with an HSL line, metro and train to the other airports. There were the Chinese people very happy," said Rik Krabbendam, Director of NACO.

The design also has a durable aspect: the distance the aircraft must taxi is as short as possible, reducing CO2 emissions. In 2017 New Beijing International Airport to be operational.

Beijing new airport to be one of world’s largest


The upcoming airport in Beijing will be the world’s largest commercial aviation hub, and is slated to open within four years.
As reported by arabianbusiness.com, developer Wang Baoling, who was speaking at the China Design Festival, confirmed that the first phase of the airport would open in 2019 – with four runways capable of accommodating up to 45 million passengers per year.
The second phase of the project will continue to be developed, with capacity due to be expanded to 72 million passengers by 2025. When the entire development is completed in 2040, total capacity is expected to be capable of accommodating up to 100 million passengers annually.

Work on the new airport has begun, with the design overseen by internationally renowned architect, Zaha Hadid.
The facility itself will be shaped to resemble a phoenix, which complements the existing dragon shaped Beijing Capital International Airport.
The design will enable baggage to be transported to and from the airport in under 13 minutes, while passengers will be able to walk from customs to the boarding gates within eight minutes.
