Policy Address

(D) International Aviation Hub

66. As an international aviation hub, Hong Kong is connected to nearly 200 destinations worldwide. Our city has topped the global ranking for air cargo throughput for more than a decade.

67. The Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) will complete the Three-Runway System by the end of this year. From 2035, the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA)'s capacity will increase by 50%.

Enhance Aviation Development Strategies

68. The Government will step up efforts in expanding our aviation network by supporting the HKIA to explore new destinations and flights, particularly enhancing co-operation with civil aviation counterparts from B&R countries. In parallel, we will combine the strengths of our airport and Zhuhai Airport to improve the Fly-Via-Zhuhai-Hong Kong direct passenger service and jointly develop international air cargo business for greater synergy.
