December 1, 2024 - 12:47
Hong Kong International Airport is set to experience a remarkable 50% increase in its handling capacity by the year 2035, according to insights shared by Financial Secretary Paul Chan in his weekly blog. This ambitious expansion is part of a broader strategy to enhance the airport's infrastructure and accommodate the growing demand for air travel in the region.
Chan emphasized that the increase in capacity is essential for maintaining Hong Kong's status as a major aviation hub in Asia. The expansion will not only support the anticipated rise in passenger numbers but also facilitate increased cargo operations, thereby boosting the local economy.
The government is committed to investing in advanced technologies and sustainable practices to ensure that the airport can operate efficiently and meet environmental standards. As travel continues to rebound post-pandemic, this development is expected to play a crucial role in revitalizing the tourism sector and supporting Hong Kong's economic recovery.
