Historic military airfield serving Beijing's western districts.

Location
Beijing, China
Beijing Xijiao Airport (ICAO: ZBBB) is a military airfield located in the Haidian District of western Beijing, China. It has historically served as a base for Chinese military and government aviation operations rather than commercial passenger traffic. The airport does not operate scheduled commercial airline services and is not assigned an IATA code, reflecting its restricted, non-commercial status. It is one of several airfields in the Beijing metropolitan area with roots in the early decades of the People's Republic of China. Due to its military nature, public information about its facilities, capacity, and current operational status is limited. It occasionally appears in historical accounts of Chinese aviation and military history.
