China Eastern looks to base 200 aircraft at Daxing
China Eastern plans eventually to station 200 aircraft at the new Beijing Daxing International Airport that is scheduled to open this year, chairman Liu Shaoyong said. The company is assuming it will take 40% of traffic at Daxing, Liu notes that, given the airport’s intended capacity of 72m passengers a year in 2025, the forecast market share implies 28.8m passengers for China Eastern. “This is comparable with our traffic at Shanghai Pudong International,” Liu said, referring to one of the carrier’s two base airports in its home town. So Daxing International represents “China Eastern’s greatest opportunity for development.” <br/>
