History
On 1 February 2000, BCIA's H shares were introduced to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company has also intended to issue A shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Li Peiying, who served as the company’s leader from 1995 until 2003, was found guilty of bribery and embezzlement in 2009, leading to his execution later that year.
Due to capacity constraints at the existing airport, BCIA engaged in feasibility assessments for constructing a second large airport to the south of Beijing. This initiative involved cooperation between China's National Development and Reform Commission, the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and Beijing municipal government. Construction of the new facility in Daxing District commenced in 2014, reached completion by June 2019, and officially began operations in September 2019.
