- Beijing Capital International Airport Company Limited (0694.HK), a subsidiary of Capital Airports Holdings Co., Ltd., owns and operates Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) in Beijing, China, providing comprehensive aeronautical and non-aeronautical services to domestic and international airlines and passengers. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Beijing, the company manages aircraft landings and take-offs, passenger service facilities, ground support services, and firefighting services as part of its aeronautical operations; its non-aeronautical activities encompass franchising ground handling agent and in-flight catering services, duty-free and retail shops, food and beverage outlets, VIP services, advertising space leasing, terminal property leasing, car parking, and ground handling facilities. The airport serves 51 airliners on 227 routes, including 137 domestic and 90 international destinations, primarily targeting air transportation enterprises, passengers, and commercial partners in China with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region. In recent developments, the company launched a major tender in December 2025 for duty-free concessions at Beijing Capital International Airport, marking a strategic reallocation of commercial resources to boost non-aeronautical revenue and enhance passenger consumption experiences amid post-pandemic recovery. Additionally, its parent group, Beijing Capital International Airport Group Co., Ltd., signed a Sister Airport Memorandum of Understanding in September 2025 with Hamad International Airport in Doha, fostering collaboration on operations, technology, service design, and innovation to strengthen global connectivity under the Belt and Road Initiative. These initiatives reflect ongoing efforts to expand capacity, upgrade infrastructure, and diversify revenue streams following significant investments exceeding RMB 2 billion in terminal expansions and technology enhancements as of 2022.
