HKA & HKE Welcome Government’s Approval of the Three-runway Option as the Basis for Development

HKA & HKE adhere to the mission to expand aviation business. We are making significant investments to underscore the airline's commitment to the industry. The airlines will operate more flights to different destinations with our fleet comprised of sufficient number of aircrafts and manpower, in a large extent. The airlines' extensive expansion plan undoubtedly increases its demand on airport infrastructure and we believe the three-runway system is the most effective solution to accommodate the traffic demand. However, the building of three-runway system could cause environment impact and the airlines are well aware of these concerns. As environmentally friendly operations are important to us, we will work out various means and environmental protection plan including introduction of new aircrafts which can reduce carbon emission to mitigate the environment impact.

The airlines firmly believe that the three-runway system is of paramount importance to sustain long-term economic development, cater the fast-growing needs for aviation services and strengthen Hong Kong's competitiveness as a leading regional and international aviation hub. We look forward to HKIA's further plans to collaboratively create long-term stability, sustainability and prosperity of the economy of Hong Kong.
