HKIA plans HK$7 billion enhancement

HONG KONG International Airport (HKIA) will get a HK$7 billion (US$897 million) upgrade of its facilities ahead of the opening of its third runway in 2024.

The Hong Kong Airport Authority’s investment will see enhancements made to the existing Terminal 1, notably a new 17,000 sqm annexe building outfitted with more than 40 additional check-in and self-service bag-drop facilities. Terminal 1 will also be expanded, with a sky bridge connecting the terminal with the north satellite concourse.

Existing plans to add 33 aircraft parking stands at Terminal 1 will also be completed, while new dining and retail options will be made available in the East Hall. These developments come on top of the upcoming Skycity integrated complex near Terminal 2, whose first phase is due to open in 2020. hongkongairport.com
