To improve the competitiveness of Hong Kong as an international aviation hub, the Hong Kong Airport Authority is working with the Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre (HKBAC) in the implementation of a HK$400 million expansion of business aircraft facilities at Hong Kong International Airport.
The new deal aims at establishing Hong Kong as an international aviation hub and in support of Hong Kong’s continuous development as the region’s premier center for international businesses.
Scope of the expansion project allows the site area of HKBAC in its current location will be expanded by half from 16,000 square meters to 24,500square meters.
The Executive Terminal of HKBAC will be expanded around four times to 4,800 square meters and a new building will be constructed to provide more customer facilities, including enhanced Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) facilities and a canopy for passengers at the apron.
Aimed at completion of the expansion project in 2025, the annual handling capacity of business aircraft flight movement at the HKBAC will be increased by 100%.
Jack So, Chairman of the Airport Authority, said,
the expansion plan will help further attract global businesses to set up regional headquarters and offices in Hong Kong, taking advantage of Hong Kong International Airport’s unique geographical location and connectivity that enables business executives to reach major Asian markets within five hours.
