PEK Airport Code: Beijing Airport IATA & ICAO

Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) is stored for Beijing, China. ICAO ZBAA. Timezone Asia/Shanghai. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

PEK is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing, China (CN). The matching ICAO identifier is ZBAA. Travel agents see PEK on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example PEKLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO ZBAA is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Asia/Shanghai. This code page explains how PEK is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for China: PKX (Beijing), PVG (Shanghai), SHA (Shanghai), CAN (Guangzhou), SZX (Shenzhen). Related IATA city code in this dataset: BJS. To turn a booked PNR that contains PEK into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

How to use this page

Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for PEK.
Do not copy terminal or lounge claims from other websites onto this page. They are not stored here.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 PEKLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read PEK as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If PEK is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
