Effective September 17, 2025 at 1600 UTC

Beijing Capital International Airport (ZBAA) has announced a significant construction project that will impact business aviation operations for at least one month. Airport authorities have issued an official notice regarding the closure of Ramp #62 for apron renovation work.

Key Details

What’s Happening: Ramp #62, the primary business aviation apron at ZBAA, will be closed for renovation starting September 17, 2025, at 1600 UTC.

Duration: At least one month, with the reopening date to be announced (TBA).

Impact: This closure will make 19 of ZBAA’s 40 business jet parking stands unavailable, significantly reducing capacity by nearly 50%.

Planning Considerations

Given the substantial reduction in available parking stands, operators should expect:

• Increased congestion at remaining business aviation facilities
• Limited parking availability for the duration of construction
• Potential delays in securing parking slots

Important: Submit parking requests as early as possible to ensure arrangements can be made efficiently during this constrained period.

Alternative Solutions

Primary Alternative: ZBAD (Beijing Daxing International Airport)

• 24/7 FBO services available
• 24/7 Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine (CIQ) facilities
• Currently no operational restrictions

Hybrid Option: Consider passenger drop-off at ZBAA with aircraft repositioning to ZBAD for overnight parking, maximizing convenience while securing reliable parking.

Bottom Line

Business aviation operators planning flights to Beijing should act quickly to secure parking arrangements and consider ZBAD as a viable alternative during this construction period. Early planning will be essential to avoid disruptions to your operations.
