A three-runway system will enable HKIA to serve 100 million passengers per year, while SKYCITY is set to be the largest commercial development in Hong Kong, and a new regional destination comprising entertainment, retail and dining facilities, as well as hotels and offices.
Hong Kong wants to turn Hong Kong International Airport from a “city airport” to an Airport City by implementing strategically planned projects to transform the transport hub into a centre more integrated with broader regional economic activities.

The Airport Authority of Hong Kong will also study the future development of AsiaWorld-Expo, with a view to fully realising the potential synergy between SKYCITY and AsiaWorld-Expo.
“Our Airport City strategy complements the Government’s overall planning for Lantau, which will generate enormous synergy and further consolidate Hong Kong’s position as an international aviation hub and the major business centre in the Greater Bay Area,” said Jack So Chak-kwong, chairman of the Airport Authority.
Also on the drawing board is commercial development at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge boundary crossing.
