Star Alliance, Air China and Beijing Capital International Airport agree joint cooperation 

In a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed during the Star Alliance Chief Executive Board (CEB) meeting in Beijing, Star Alliance, member carrier Air China and Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) have agreed to closely cooperate to further establish Beijing Capital International Airport as a leading hub and transfer airport as well as to significantly enhance the future customer experience. Under the MoU, the parties will cooperate to co-locate all Star Alliance member airlines in the same airport terminal. This allows the Alliance to provide an improved passenger experience and to implement airport automation initiatives such as off-airport check-in, fast bag drop or self-tagging. Common handling solutions, optimised transfer processes and the Star Alliance Connection Service will provide further benefits to the customers. 17 Star Alliance member airlines serve Beijing Capital International Airport: Air Canada, Air China, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian, EGYPTAIR, Ethiopian Airlines, EVA Air, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Singapore Airlines, SWISS, Turkish Airlines, THAI and United. Together they operate over 742 flights per day, connecting Beijing with 177 destinations in 41 countries. Source: Star Alliance
