Being one of the world’s super large airports, it is also recognized as the central transportation hub of China’s golden route. With a total of 10,774 parking spaces, the parking building (lot) of Capital International Airport is a super-large parking project. 

After winning the parking operation rights of Capital International Airport, Shougang Concord team has achieved full coverage of the airport parking field in Beijing.

It has a total of 4,238 parking spaces, including 630 rechargeable parking spaces, and support nearly 10,000 square meters of convenience service facilities.

It is a challenge for Shougang Concord team to operate the parking buildings of the two airports sin Beijing, but it also has potential for huge collaborative innovation. The business linkage and data communication of the two airports will open space for imagination on the service efficiency.

Shougang Concord team will use the huge “air flow” resources and data of the parking operation to provide high-quality parking services to the users. Meanwhile, they will focus on mining the valuable information from the “air flow” resources. By applying the big data to the fields of taxi scheduling, commercial advertising, automobile leasing, post-vehicle service and the like, and using the accurate parking data analysis, they will carry out differential pricing based on demands, so as to provide more convenience and values to the large number of travelling passengers.
