Beijing’s brand new Daxing mega-airport is still whirring into life after its grand opening at the end of September. Today (Oct 27) marks a big milestone, as the airport’s first international flight takes to the skies.

As expected with an airport this size, it takes a while to get everything up and running. From the opening ceremony on 25 September, and the arrival of the first commercial flight the following day, it’s taken just over a month for the airport to see its first international flight departure.
