While the fever of the Beijing Summer Olympics is yet to recede, the capital's airport is gearing up once again for the upcoming Paralympics.
The airport is aiming to provide top-quality service for all Paralympic athletes.
Our reporter Zheng Chenguang has the detail.
Another flight arrives at the Beijing Capital International Airport, signaling that more than 6,000 guests from the Paralympic family have smoothly arrived in Beijing.
Jason Roberts is a wheelchair rugby player from Great Britain. With the help of volunteers, he soon found his wheelchair.
"Your wheelchair is by the car to the baggage belt."
"Oh, it's gone by the car. Okay. Cool! Thank you."
Jason said it's his first time in China, and he was very impressed by the quality of service at the airport.
"It's pretty good. Everyone is very helpful. Very quick and getting stuff done. So good."
More than half of the 4,000 athletes participating in the Paralympics use wheelchairs, just like Jason. To meet their needs, the airport had constructed and renovated barrier-free facilities in all three terminals. A special reception hall was arranged for Paralympians arriving in Terminal 2.
Dong Zhiyi is general manager of the airport.
"We have designated the No.1 Hall in Terminal 2 for Paralympic delegations since they will arrive and depart in massive scales. With this special arrangement, there is no need for passengers in wheelchairs to take elevators, they can finish all the procedures and leave the airport directly after getting off from the plane."
All together, the capital airport has invested over 12 million yuan, nearly 2 million U.S. dollars, in various renovation work, including making 200 toilets disabled people-friendly, adjusting handrails, installing alarms and so on.
Volunteers are also at hand to offer help.
Sun Jing, a college student in Beijing, is one such Paralympic volunteer in the airport.
"As volunteers for the Paralympics, we should have more love and care, and provide more help to passengers. Every volunteer will do his best to provide a helping hand. We don't care about getting tired, especially while helping passengers carry their luggage."
More than 10,000 Paralympic athletes and officials from nearly 150 nations and regions will arrive at the capital airport during the Games.
To ensure Paralympians face no problems during departure, the capital airport has also set up check-in counters inside the Olympic village.
