Hong Kong launches third runway

-

Hong Kong’s airport has officially launched a new third runway expected to boost the city’s status as an aviation hub.

The Airport Authority Hong Kong said about 140 flights a day are already using the new runway, which has been in operation since early July.

However, the airport is still using only two runways because its centre runway was closed in July for reconfigur­ation.

The airport is also expanding its Terminal Two with a new concourse, and work is expected to be completed by 2024.
