Hong Kong's Airport Authority announced that the revamped Terminal 2 will open on May 27. Passengers will complete check-in, immigration and security at the new facility before moving to Terminal 1 for departures.
The Airport Authority said on Friday that Terminal 2 would open on May 27. Travellers would check in, clear immigration and undergo security checks before proceeding to Terminal 1 for departure.
Authority chairman Fred Lam Tin-fuk described Terminal 2 as a new milestone in the airport’s development. He said it would prioritise efficiency and passenger comfort.
“We believe that Terminal 2 can divert departing flights efficiently to welcome passengers during the summer holiday,” Lam said. The dedicated departure concourse and boarding gates are slated to open at the end of next year.
Acting financial secretary Michael Wong Wai-lun said the government would continue to pursue multiple measures to ensure Hong Kong’s role as a global aviation hub. Lam added that the authority would turn the airport into Skytopia, a megadevelopment offering experiences that spanned land, water and air.
