Beijing Nanyuan Airport to halt flights during Olympics' opening ceremony
Published: Jul 27, 2008 

Following a flight suspension at Beijing Capital International Airport announced on Tuesday, a local newspaper said the city's Nanyuan Airport would also be subject to the suspension during the Olympic Games opening ceremony.

No planes would be allowed to take off or land at both airports from 7 p.m. to midnight on Aug. 8, the Beijing Evening News reported on Saturday citing the China Civil Aviation Administration.

The Beijing Nanyuan Airport in the city's south is for both military and civil use.

The security measure was a common practice shared by other countries that had hosted the Olympics, and the move was ratified by the Chinese government.

The administration said flights would be rescheduled to minimize inconvenience for passengers and they could get full reimbursement for delayed flight tickets.

Since August 2003, CAAC and the Chinese civil aviation industry have gathered together to serve the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, in order to guarantee the safety, convenience and simplicity of the air transportation during the Games. Meanwhile, taking the opportunity of Olympic Games, China steps up building of a powerful civil aviation industry.
