Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA), an aviation hub in the Chinese capital, aims to offer a comfortable and efficient travel experience using such integrated smart technologies -- all passengers need to do is just pop up in front of the screen.
On its way to becoming one of the world's super-large aviation hubs, BCIA is injecting smart technology into a variety of fields, from pandemic prevention and control to passenger service enhancement and airport operation efficiency improvement.
