Which airport has PKX as its IATA code?

• A. Beijing Capital International
• B. Beijing Daxing International
• C. Delhi Indira Gandhi International
• D. Incheon International

Answer: (B)

IATA airport codes are three-letter identifiers assigned to airports worldwide, often hinting at the airport’s city or official name. The code PKX belongs to Beijing Daxing International Airport in Beijing, China. Beijing Capital International Airport uses a different code, PEK, so PKX is not for the older facility. The other options correspond to Delhi Indira Gandhi International (DEL) and Incheon International (ICN), which have their own codes.

Beijing opened the Daxing airport to handle growing air traffic, and a distinct code was needed to avoid confusion with the existing Beijing Capital airport. PKX was chosen to identify the new, southern Beijing airport. So, PKX is the IATA code for Beijing Daxing International Airport.
