Budget Speech

International Aviation Hub

166. Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has about 120 airlines operating flights to some 180 destinations worldwide.  With Hong Kong's role as an international aviation hub and tapping into the convenience and opportunities brought about by the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, our vision is to transform HKIA into an Airport City integrating commerce, conventions and exhibitions, tourism, lifestyle, logistics and more, shaping it into a world‑class landmark.

Open up a New Aviation Hinterland

167. The AA is working full steam ahead with the HKIA three‑runway system (3RS) project as scheduled, with the target of commissioning at the end of this year.  Leveraging the opportunities brought by the 3RS and our country's support of the "Air Silk Road," we will focus on current major routes and routes along the B&R with potential, thus strengthening aviation services between Hong Kong and related countries and, in doing so, expand our aviation network.

Intermodal Transport

168. The AA will make comprehensive use of HKIA's advantages in handling high‑value, temperature‑controlled air cargo.  We are taking forward the development of a sea‑air intermodal cargo‑transhipment mode in collaboration with Dongguan.  Its handling capacity will gradually reach one million tonnes per annum, better fulfilling the GBA's international cargo demand, with first‑phase construction of the permanent facility of the HKIA Logistics Park, which is scheduled for completion by the end of next year.

Asia's Aviation Logistics Base

169. The AA will actively expand air cargo services, including handling cold‑chain cargo at its logistics park in Dongguan and collaborating with Zhuhai to develop its international cargo business.  It will also attract international cargo forwarders and major global retailers to set up their Asian aviation logistics base in Hong Kong.
