About Hong Kong International Airport

Overview

Hong Kong International Airport is located on the reclaimed island of Chek Lap Kok, approximately 30 kilometres west of central Hong Kong. It serves as the territory's sole commercial airport and one of the principal international gateways to East Asia. The airport opened in July 1998, replacing the constrained Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon, which had been hemmed in by dense urban development.

Terminals & runways

The airport operates two passenger terminals connected by an automated people mover, with Terminal 1 handling the bulk of scheduled traffic and Terminal 2 hosting expanded check-in and transport facilities. A third parallel runway recently opened as part of a major three-runway expansion across reclaimed land. The airport runs 24 hours a day without a curfew, supporting heavy overnight cargo movements.

Airlines

The airport is the principal hub of Cathay Pacific and its regional subsidiary HK Express, and a base for Hong Kong Airlines. It is one of the world's busiest cargo hubs, with extensive operations by Cathay Cargo, FedEx, and UPS. Major international carriers from across Asia, Europe, North America, and the Middle East maintain regular long-haul services through the airport.
