PEK stands for Beijing Capital International Airport, an airport code abbreviation.
Beijing's original main airport, located about 25 kilometers northeast of central Beijing, and the hub of Air China. For several years in the late 2010s it was the world's second-busiest airport by passengers.
Example: Air China connects through PEK, while China Eastern uses the new Daxing airport.
Usage notes
ICAO code ZBAA. Terminal 3, designed by Norman Foster for the 2008 Olympics, was among the largest buildings in the world when completed. Since Daxing opened in 2019, Beijing has had two major airports, so travelers must check which one their flight uses.
