Hong Kong International Airport is going to be improved







Travellers urged to take extra care as improvement work continues at Hong Kong International Airport. that served around 74 million passengers in 2018, a record for a single year.


A new passenger footbridge is under construction and will connect some of the concourses by 2020, which the Airport Authority said meant the boarding gates would need to be renumbered. the Terminal 1 annexe building, the skybridge and the toilet revamp will cost HK$9 billion.”

The authority said it was working with airlines to ensure the changes would be fully communicated to passengers.


The skybridge, which will be high enough to allow the Airbus A380 – the world’s largest passenger plane – to pass underneath, is expected to open by the second quarter of 2020, and means more passengers can ditch getting the bus to the plane.


The biggest change will be the introduction of biometric boarding gates, so passengers will board with their ticket and the use of facial recognition, instead of staff checking passports.
