The three-runway system of HKIA has been completed. It is now in operation, carrying passengers from around the country and cargo to more destinations and providing more options for global passenger and cargo flow into the Mainland, which is particularly significant. HKIA is an important gateway to the world for Hong Kong and the entire Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, playing a strategic role in social and economic development.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction works of 3RS started in August 2016. The new North Runway was officially commissioned in November 2022. Since then, HKIA has continued to operate with two runways, with the Centre Runway temporarily closed for reconfiguration. The reconfiguration works include levelling the runway pavement to tie in with connecting taxiways, constructing new runway entry and exit taxiways and building new wrap-around taxiways at both ends of the runway. After the reconfiguration works, the flight check and aircraft crash and rescue exercise were completed on the Centre Runway in September and October, respectively. After all three runways operate simultaneously, aircraft take-offs and landings at HKIA will gradually increase to match air traffic demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HONG KONG, 2 December 2024: Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) commissioned its Three-runway System (3RS) on Thursday, 28 November, marking a new milestone in Hong Kong\u2019s aviation development.
