Commercial airports in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province signed an agreement on Monday to coordinate their operations and development.

The agreement aims to enable the formation of an integrated air transport sector that will be rapid, efficient, safe and cost-effective, according to a statement released at the signing ceremony in Beijing.

The Tianjin airport will foster cargo transport, and the Shijiazhuang Zhengding International Airport, the largest in Hebei, will strive to promote air courier delivery services and low-cost airlines, according to the statement.

The Beijing airport served 83.7 million passengers in 2013 and was listed as the second-busiest airport in the world last year by passenger volume, behind Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the United States, according to Airports Council International.
