Carrie Lam, chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administration Region, and Jack So Chak-Kwong, chairman of Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA), were among top government officials and airport executives attending the celebrations.

During the CNY holiday period, HKIA is arranging Lion Dance performances, God of Fortune Meet and Greet to the passenger at the Meeters & Greeters Hall, the Central Concourse of Terminal 1 and Midfield Concourse in the restricted area.
To cater for the increasing number of passengers, the AA has deployed additional staff to provide assistance to passengers, while some retail and catering outlets are also extending their service hours.
The number of security screening channels will be increased if needed. Public transportation services to and from the airport, including the Airport Express Line and some public bus routes, have added frequencies and extended operating hours.
The frequencies of the high-speed ferry services at SkyPier have also been enhanced.
