With the construction of Beijing's new airport, the development of Tianjin's civil aviation market, and the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy, the relationship between Beijing and Tianjin civil aviation will shift from competition to cooperation. Meanwhile, as flights originating from Tianjin to first-tier international cities gradually increase, Tianjin Airport's ability to attract passenger traffic has become prominent. Compared with Beijing, the average ticket price for international routes from Tianjin is 600 to 1,000 yuan cheaper.
　　In 2019, Beijing's new airport will be completed. With the gradual deepening of Beijing-Tianjin integration, administrative boundaries will gradually fade, and the three airports of the two cities will move from “competition” to “cooperation,” achieving balanced, coordinated and complementary development in quantity and differentiated, collaborative and win-win development in quality, gradually forming a “one family, three airports” transportation-sharing pattern to better serve the development of different locations and different business and public passenger groups in Beijing and Tianjin. In addition, the airports of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei will form cluster-style development, with Beijing's new and old airports as the main axis, optimizing the functional positioning of Tianjin and Shijiazhuang airports, realizing differentiated operation of the functional positioning of the three-airport cluster, and building a world-class airport cluster in the future.
　　Statistics show that in 2016 Tianjin Airport welcomed 16.872 million passengers, and this year's passenger throughput is expected to reach 19.5 million. The consultation service counter set up by Tianjin Airport in Beijing has received more than 1.1 million passengers, making passengers from Beijing and Hebei pay more attention to and learn more about Tianjin Airport.
　　It is reported that this year Tianjin plans to open intercontinental routes such as Tianjin-Xi'an-London and Tianjin-Chongqing-Melbourne, and future planned destinations also include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver and Ulaanbaatar, bringing convenience to passengers' travel. Airlines such as Air China, Tianjin Airlines, Okay Airways and Xiamen Airlines have successively opened domestic and international routes in Tianjin to build a more complete aviation network. The international medium- and long-haul routes opened by Tianjin Airlines all originate from Tianjin and reach first-tier international cities, and adopt a low-price strategy, with average ticket prices 600 to 1,000 yuan lower than international routes originating from Beijing, thereby diverting passenger traffic from Capital Airport. In the future, airlines such as Tianjin Airlines will also strive to enter Beijing's new airport, realize the “Beijing-Tianjin dual-wheel drive,” continue to expand and enter international routes, and form an international aviation hub network radiating from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to the whole country.
