Field and clock profile
Beijing Daxing International Airport is a near sea-level field at 98 ft (30 m), positioned at 39.5013° N, 116.4140° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 4 runways and a longest runway of 12,467 ft / 3,800 m. The airport clock uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
City and airport alternatives
Langfang is the closest retained city-time anchor at 26 km. PEK Beijing is the closest retained airport alternative at 66 km.
Country airport peers
PKX is compared with PEK Beijing at 66 km, TSN Tianjin at 90 km, TNA Jinan (Licheng) at 302 km, TYN Taiyuan at 382 km, DLC Dalian (Ganjingzi) at 445 km inside the retained China airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

OurAirports classifies PKX as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Beijing.
PKX (ZBAD) is a near sea-level field at 98 ft (30 m) in the mid-latitudes, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
PKX sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
PKX's runway record lists 4 runways, with the longest runway at 12,467 ft / 3,800 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete (4).
Civil aviation oversight for PKX runs through Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC); a more specific operator record is not currently in our source set.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at bdia.com.cn, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for PKX
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
PKX uses Asia/Shanghai (CST, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Beijing Daxing International Airport is about 45 km from central Beijing; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
PEK Beijing is the closest retained alternate at 66 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
bdia.com.cn is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place PKX inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
PKX ranks #12 in the curated China airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 25 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
PKX shares Asia/Shanghai with CAN Guangzhou (Huadu) CN · CGQ Changchun CN · CKG Chongqing CN · CTU Chengdu (Shuangliu) CN · DLC Dalian (Ganjingzi) CN · HFE Hefei CN. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
PKX is 98 ft (30 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include IAH 97 ft (30 m) (1 ft delta) · DVO 96 ft (29 m) (2 ft delta) · KHI 100 ft (30 m) (2 ft delta) · MCO 96 ft (29 m) (2 ft delta) · RKT 102 ft (31 m) (4 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
PKX's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are PEK 66 km +0h · TSN 90 km +0h · TNA 302 km +0h.

Airport Details
Timezone
Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Because the airport sits well outside central Beijing, surface transfer planning matters almost as much as flight timing, especially for late arrivals and early departures.
Beijing is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Beijing Daxing International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from PKX, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
