Über uns Hong Kong International Airport

Der Hong Kong International Airport, auch als Chek Lap Kok bekannt, ist einer der verkehrsreichsten und am meisten ausgezeichneten Flughäfen Asiens. Er wurde 1998 auf einer künstlich aufgeschütteten Insel vor der Küste von Lantau eröffnet und ersetzte den legendären Kai Tak Airport. HKG fertigt über 39 Millionen Passagiere jährlich über zwei Terminals ab und ist das Hauptdrehkreuz von Cathay Pacific Airways, der wichtigsten Fluggesellschaft Hongkongs. Der Flughafen ist über den Airport Express-Zug in etwa 24 Minuten mit der Station Hong Kong auf Hong Kong Island verbunden. HKG verfügt über zwei parallele Start- und Landebahnen mit einer dritten im Bau. Der Flughafen ist bekannt für seine Effizienz, sein umfangreiches Angebot an Restaurants und Geschäften und seine Lage als natürliches Drehkreuz für Verkehr zwischen Südostasien, Ostasien und dem Rest der Welt.
