Airport History

Hong Kong’s former Kai Tak Airport became increasingly constrained by urban development and operational limitations, leading to the decision to build a replacement airport on Chek Lap Kok. The new airport opened in 1998 and quickly became the principal air gateway for the city.

The airport was developed as a large reclamation project, with runways, terminals, and supporting infrastructure built specifically for modern international operations. Its opening marked a major shift in capacity and operational reliability compared with the former airport.

Since opening, the airport has undergone ongoing expansion and modernization to support higher traffic volumes, transfer operations, and larger aircraft. Terminal upgrades, airfield improvements, and ground transport connections have all contributed to its current role as a major international hub.
