Through continuous development of passenger and cargo services, cross-boundary transport networks, and a wide range of commercial facilities in and surrounding the airport, HKIA is transforming from a city airport into an Airport City.

The air traffic at HKIA has been growing rapidly and its current two-runway system is reaching full capacity.

A series of developments are being undertaken to enhance HKIA’s handling capacity. For the medium term, the remaining Midfield development will add 34 aircraft parking positions. Terminal 1 of HKIA is also being expanded to provide additional passenger facilities. In the long term, HKIA will be developed into a three-runway system. The expansion is essential to maintain Hong Kong’s growth and prosperity, as well as its overall competitiveness.
