AFTER MORE THAN five years of design and construction, the
Midfield Concourse at the Hong Kong International Airport is now
in full operation. Located to the west of Terminal 1 and between the
two existing runways at the airport, the five-level concourse has a total
floor area of 105,000 m2 with ceiling heights comparable to those
of Terminal 1. There are 20 aircraft parking stands, 19 of which are
bridge-served, including two Code F stands that are wide enough to
cater for the double-deck A380. Passengers are connected to Terminal
1 via an extended automated people mover (APM).
As a core part of the airport’s midfield expansion, the Midfield
Concourse equips the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) with
sufficient handling capacity to strengthen the city’s competitiveness
as a leading regional and international aviation hub. This project
also symbolises a major achievement for the Airport Authority
Hong Kong (AAHK), poised to embark on their expansion to a three
runway system.
