HONG KONG, 18 February 2026: Hong Kong International Airport will open new passenger departure facilities at Terminal 2 on 27 May 2026.
The announcement was made by Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) Chairman Fred Lam and Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan during the Chinese New Year celebrations at HKIA on Monday.
The passenger facilities of the expanded T2 are commissioned in phases to mirror passenger traffic demand trends. Launching the T2 departure facilities in May will enable HKIA to meet the anticipated surge in passengers during the summer peak season, providing a new and more convenient travel experience.
Seamlessly connected to the Airport Express platform and Terminal 1, the expanded T2 will offer next-generation smart check-in facilities. T2 is designed to be a trendy space for leisure travellers, served by approximately 15 airlines that primarily operate short-haul and regional routes. The airlines will move to T2 in phases.
AAHK has been working closely with relevant government departments, airlines, passenger handling agents and other stakeholders to prepare for the commissioning of T2’s departure facilities, with a robust, comprehensive programme of familiarisation activities, training sessions, drills, and exercises already underway.
The Coach Hall at T2 commenced operations on 23 September 2025 as the first phase launch of the new terminal. The Coach Hall provides 41 parking bays for tour buses, cross-boundary coaches, limousines, crew and resident coaches, as well as ticketing counters for cross-boundary transport connecting with more than 110 destinations in the Greater Bay Area.
