Three highway roads are also under construction to connect the new terminal to the existing traffic system, and are planned to open before Olympics.
Six new airport bus lines were put into operation with 88 new buses. The bus fee remains 16 yuan (about 2.25 U.S. dollars), the same as existing lines. Shuffle vehicles were also equipped to carry passengers between the three terminals.
The new terminal will be used by six airlines initially, including Sichuan Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Qatar Airlines, Qantas Airways, British Airways and El Al Israel Airlines. A further 21 airlines companies would start using it on Mar. 29.
China is also upgrading several standby airports near Beijing for the Olympics by renovating terminals, enlarging tarmacs, lengthening runways and improving services.
