About Terminal 3E
Terminal 3E (T3E) is the international concourse of Terminal 3 at Beijing Capital International Airport in Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. Terminal 3 has three sections: the main building T3C, the T3D concourse and the T3E concourse. T3E mainly serves international flights.
Terminal 3 was built as part of a major expansion of the airport before the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Construction started in 2004. The terminal began trial operations on 29 February 2008 and became fully operational on 26 March 2008. When it opened, Terminal 3 was one of the largest airport terminal buildings in the world.
The Terminal 3 complex, including T3E, was designed by Foster + Partners with NACO (Netherlands Airport Consultants) and the engineering firm Arup.
The architecture uses traditional Chinese colours and symbols. The roof is often compared to a dragon. It has a pattern of triangular skylights that bring daylight into the building, and its colour changes gradually along the length of the structure. Like the rest of Terminal 3, T3E has large open halls and wide-span steel roof structures.
T3E is not directly next to the main building. It is connected to T3C by an automated people mover, a driverless rail system about 2 kilometres long. Departing international passengers check in, go through border control and pass security screening in T3C, then take the train to T3E for boarding. Arriving international passengers go through the same steps in reverse. Baggage moves between the two buildings on an automated baggage handling system.
The main users of T3E are Air China, which is based at the airport, and its partners in the Star Alliance.
