Beijing's new international airport saw its first flight inspection on Tuesday.

At 9:28 am, an aircraft took off from Beijing Capital International Airport in the northeastern part of the city. At 10:10 am, the plane landed smoothly on the western runway at Beijing Daxing International Airport.

The flight inspection, which the Civil Aviation Administration of China called a success in a news release, is the first of a series. The inspections will last until March 15 and cover the airport's four runways, six landing systems, lighting facilities and other areas.
