Hong Kong International Airport History

Hong Kong international airport was initially known as Kai Tak airport which was built in 1925 located in Kowloon bay with a single runway. The planning study of the airport by the Civil Aviation and public works department started in 1974 where they identified a small island Of Chek Lap Kok as a possible airport replacement site. This would help the airport route flight paths away from the populous urban areas and route over the South China Sea. The master plan was later completed towards the end of 1982 and the civil engineering study towards the end of 1983.

Later in 1988, a Port and Airport Development Strategy study was carried out by consultants with the head of Mott MacDonald Hong Kong Limited, and reporting done in December 1989. The study came up with three recommended strategies; maintaining the existing airport at Kai Tak, assuming a possible airport in the Western Harbor between Lantau Island and Hong Kong Island and the third strategy assumed a new airport at Chek Lap Kok. With a detailed analysis, the government was able to appraise the best-recommended strategy.

In October 1989, the Governement announced to the legislative council that a decision had been made which was on the long-term port and airport development strategy for the territory. The adopted strategy was the one for replacing the airport at Chek Lap Kok and incorporating new container terminals 8 and 9. 

According to the PADS analysts, the airport could be opened earliest in January 1997 which was six months prior to the handover of Hong Kong to China. The new airport construction kicked off in 1991 and during the progress of the construction, there was an agreement reached with China that as much as possible that the airport would be completed in July 1997. During the agreement, British Prime Minister John Major opened a bridge that connects to Lantau Island.

The construction of this airport was voted as one of the top 10 construction achievements despite facing objections from the government of China. With the leadership of Mott Connell, the detailed airport terminal was awarded to his consortium. The airport was officially opened by the Chinese president in an opening ceremony and the General Secretary of the Communist party on the 2nd of July and the actual operations of the airport commenced on 6 July 1998.

The second airport terminal was opened in 2007 with a check-in facility and featured a new shopping mall, SkyPlaza that provided a large variety of shops and restaurants with few entertainment facilities.

Hong Kong International Airport Future Developments 

A plan to develop in stages the vast midfield site of the airport island was unveiled in June 2010. The first stage involved the construction of a new 20 gate passenger concourse to be built in two phases projected to be completed in 2015 and 2020 respectively. The first phase was to have 11 gates and phase to additional 9 gates to make it 20 gates.

Master plan 2030

On 2nd June 2011, an announcement by the Airport Authority on the release of their latest of a 20-year blueprint of the airport’s development named Hong Kong International Airport Master Plan 2030. With a focus on improving the overall capacity and aircraft handling ability of the airport, the study took three years with the involvement of nine consulting organizations that undertook the research, observation, planning, and advice. They came up with two options;

Option 1: Two-runway system

This involved enhancement of the terminal and the apron facilities to increase the airport’s capacity which will enable the airport to handle 420,000 flight movements per year with the passenger and cargo traffic increasing to 74 million and six million tons respectively. 

Option 2: Three-runway System

This option’s main focus is to add the third runway to the north of the airport which will enable the airport to handle a maximum of 620,000 flight movements per year. This option was adopted as the official expansion plan on 20th March 2012 by the Hong Kong government. The third runway is under construction with its own dedicated passenger concourse and is expected to open by the end of 2024.
