Three-Runway System

The Airport Authority is planning to expand Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) into a three-runway system to meet its long-term air traffic demand. After its expansion into a three-runway system, HKIA will continue to provide world-class service and facilities, ensuring its place as an airport of the future.
機場管理局正計劃擴建香港國際機場成為三跑道系統，以應付長遠的航空交通需求。擴建成三跑道系統後，香港國際機場將繼續提供世界級服務及設施，致力成為未來機場典範。

Something tells me the people of Hong Kong would rather have full democracy rather than a third runway.

By the time the expansion is done it would already be at capacity

[@chm0225]

the decision of seitching the double Y terminal to a single Y one is just stupid

[@Peizxcv]

Peter Chan Yes, it is like they only want to move 10~15 years ahead instead of 30~50 years like the original project or similar projects in Middle East and Beijing.

[@chm0225]

i think the authority is afraid of public opposition for a more expensive double Y terminal

[@Peizxcv]

True and that's how New York and London ended up with 3 and 4 airports and the big airports with 6~9 terminals.

[@worldaviation4k]

I need to get more filming done while it's only two runways, although maybe it's still easy to plane spot the other runway

[@martintheiss743]

Its to expand the capacity of services and cargo to include more flights in and out at any particular time. A well planned expansion can be cost effective for both the community at large and the international bond holders.

Hong Kong has a smaller population than London; the UK's handling of the Heathrow situation is infuriating, ridiculous and embarrassing.

This kind of expansion could never be achieved with Kai Tak. Sooner or later regardless Kai tak could not keep up. It will be like forcing an asthmatic person to run a marathon without his medicine (hell will break loose).

[@blancolirio]

This is exactly what KSFO needs!

[@martintheiss743]

KSFO is built out solid and no one in their right mind would expand anything at either Oakland or San Jose either. The major economic problem in that area is housing for those who are working day after day in the facilities. Governor Reagan in the 1960s signed a law requiring all communities and counties to create and maintain 7 year master plans for expansion and housing or risk losing State taxes. No one enforced it. Only now are people realizing there is a major cost to the lack of housing for those who work at airports.
