Beijing’s Daxing International Airport welcomed its ten millionth passenger on Tuesday. The encouraging figure comes on the eve of its first anniversary, People Daily reports.

The airport, which began operating on September 25 last year, has experienced a quantitative recovery of its service thanks to China’s good situation with respect to COVID-19, said the airport authority.

At its busiest point, the airport has handled more than 660 flights per day and a daily flow of passengers that reaches a maximum of 92,000 people.

Since its opening, 84,000 takeoffs and landings have been verified and 39,000 metric tons of cargo have been handled.
