What does the world’s largest single-building airport terminal look like?

The busiest airport in the world in terms of passenger numbers is in Atlanta, Georgia and no 2 is in Beijing, both with tens of millions more passengers every year than their nearest rivals.

This will give Beijing a breathtaking flight capacity, surpassing London’s six airports.

Until now the impressive structure has been under wraps but China Correspondent Stephen McDonell went along to have a look.
