Flying private to Beijing
Beijing is served by 2 airports used by private jets, led by Beijing Capital International Airport (ZBAA) — 45 minutes from the centre, customs on site.
Beijing Capital International Airport ZBAA
12,467 ft · 45 min · customs · 24h
Beijing's primary business-aviation entry point, with a dedicated business-aviation terminal on the east side and 45 minutes to the CBD and Financial Street. Landing permits, sponsor letters and slot approval take several working days; parking is restricted and can be limited to short stays. Government events (NPC in March, major summits) bring closures.
Beijing Daxing International Airport ZBAD
12,467 ft · 50 min · customs · 24h
Beijing's second mega-hub, 50 minutes south of the CBD, with ample capacity but less developed business-aviation facilities than Capital. A workable alternative when Capital's GA parking is exhausted; permits follow the same CAAC process.
