L'aéroport international Capital de Pékin est l'un des deux principaux aéroports desservant Pékin, la capitale de la Chine. Situé dans le district de Chaoyang, à environ 32 kilomètres au nord-est du centre-ville, PEK a été l'aéroport le plus fréquenté d'Asie avant l'ouverture de l'aéroport international de Pékin-Daxing en 2019. L'aéroport accueille plus de 100 millions de passagers par an à travers trois terminaux. Le Terminal 3, conçu par Norman Foster pour les Jeux olympiques de 2008, est l'un des plus grands bâtiments du monde par sa superficie, avec une forme de dragon intégrant des éléments de design traditionnel chinois. PEK est un hub majeur pour Air China, la compagnie nationale, et dessert les membres de Star Alliance. L'Airport Express Line assure une liaison en métro vers le centre de Pékin en environ 25 minutes. L'aéroport exploite trois pistes. L'introduction de l'aéroport de Daxing a redirigé certaines compagnies, notamment China Southern et les membres de SkyTeam, vers le nouvel aéroport, tandis que PEK reste le hub principal d'Air China et de Star Alliance. L'importance de Pékin en tant que capitale politique, centre culturel et destination touristique de premier plan, avec la Cité interdite et la Grande Muraille de Chine, garantit une demande de vols constante.
