The passenger flow of the two major airports in Shanghai is almost not as high as that of the Capital Airport. Why?

This is because before the establishment of Beijing Daxing International Airport, all the aviation pressure was concentrated in Beijing Capital International Airport, while Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao International Airport had already been built, so they shared the aviation pressure in Shanghai. If you want to calculate the total air traffic between the two cities, Shanghai is better.

First of all, before the establishment of Beijing Daxing International Airport, there was only one airport in Beijing, so domestic and foreign tourists flew at the Capital International Airport. In a year, the total number of air passengers exceeded 1 100 million, ranking first in the list of major airlines in China, which also shows the great pressure of the Capital International Airport.

Secondly, Shanghai established Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao International Airport very early. These two airports are very mature airports, so they each bear half of Shanghai's air passenger flow. In the list of previous years, the passenger flow of Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao International Airport both exceeded 50 million, while in the list of the same year, the passenger flow of Shanghai's two major international airports was greater than that of Beijing Capital International Airport.

Beijing Daxing International Airport It is precisely because of the great pressure of Beijing Capital International Airport that Beijing chose to build another large international airport, which is Daxing International Airport. Now that Daxing International Airport has been established and developed, the passenger flow of Beijing Capital International Airport has dropped by about 40% in the past two years.

Finally, judging from the total air passenger flow in recent years, the air pressure in Beijing and Shanghai is not small. The total air traffic of the two cities is above 65.438+0.2 billion, but two international airports are enough, so Shanghai and Beijing have no plans to build airports for the time being.
