Airport Code: NAY
Location: Around 15 km (about 9.3 miles) south
of downtown Beijing, Nanyuan Airport is situated in the Fengtai
District, and is closer to downtown Beijing than Beijing Capital
International Airport is.
Brief Intro: Nanyuan Airport is a new and relatively
small airport in China. With the development of the China Civil
Aviation and, as the base of China United Airlines, Nanyuan Airport
shoulders a yearly passenger flow volume of nearly one million.
The airport offers air routes from Beijing to Wuxi, Dalian, Hohhot,
Harbin, Chengdu and Hailaer , amongst other destinations.
Facilities: The terminal building has a capacity
of about 200 people so the lounge is not very spacious. Generally
passengers will be taken directly to the terminal building by
the airport bus or taxi. If you take the public bus, there is
about a 15 minute walk from the bus stop at the airport gate to
the terminal building.
Services:
Discounted tickets: Compared with Beijing Capital International
Airport, Nanyuan Airport offers more cut-price tickets for passengers.
However, these discounted tickets are typically for harder-to-reach,
more unusual places rather than conventional tourist destinations,
so they may appeal to more adventurous travelers. You can make
an instant ticket purchase when you arrive at the airport but
you may not book discount tickets in advance.
Boarding: There is no need for tourists to arrive at the airport
the usual one hour prior to the flight departure since the boarding
procedure is not as complex as at other airports and there are
not so many passengers. It is acceptable and you will not be delayed
if you to get to the airport just before the departure time.
