History
The former Hong Kong airport was built in 1925. In the 1990’s, this airport was one of the busiest airports in the world with passengers and cargo. It went way beyond the possible capacity and therefore there were often delays due to lack of space mainly. Investigations were carried out on where a replacement or support airfield should be built. An airport master plan was drawn up. The airport should be realized on the island of Chek Lap Kok. After the plan was initially opposed, there was more movement following studies on the forecast of Hong Kong in overall development.
Construction started in 1991 and finally opened 7 years later on a 12.5 square kilometer land. On July 2, 1998, the first arrival came and that is to say Air Force One of the US President Clinton. However, it didn’t start very well because some systems went down and there were immediate delays. In the following months, continuous problems continued to occur. It took six months before all arrivals and departures ran more smoothly. The second terminal opened 10 years later in 2007.
Terminals at Hong Kong Airport
The airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 is referred to as the main building which is connected to all gates. Terminal 2 is used for departing passengers only. This is now temporarily closed for renewal, after which it can also be used for not only departures but also Hong Kong arrivals.
Terminal 1
Terminal 1 is the main terminal and one of the largest in the world. Floor L7 is where Hong Kong departures begin with Check-In. There are rows from A to L. On the digital signs you can easily see where exactly you have to check in. After checking in you go through immigration to the Hong Kong airport departures hall on Floor L6 (5 and 4 also possible). Boarding gates are available on Floor L4, L5, and L6. This part of the building is also known as East Hall. L5 and L6 give access to the West Hall and L4 and L5 to the North Satellite Concourse. If you walk the Concourse from East to West Hall there are gates on both sides. At some point, the Concourse will be split into 2 for more boarding options.
The Hong Kong airport arrivals hall is at L5.
North Satellite
The North Satellite Concourse is especially for the smaller/narrower aircraft. There are 2 floors with a capacity of 5 million passengers per year. There is 1 floor for the departures hall (9 gates) and 1 for Hong Kong airport arrivals hall.
Midfield Concourse
Then there is also a Midfield Concourse that is also located between the runways. You can only get here with the Automatic People Mover. This concourse is large enough to carry 10 million passengers a year and connect the largest passenger airport (Airbus A380) in the world.
Terminal 2
This terminal is mainly used for check-in. So there is no baggage claim or boarding gates. Via Floor 1 you take a short drive to terminal 1 to leave there. There is also a shopping mall located in the terminal and various entertainment, restaurants and shops.
There are no check-in options during the pandemic. Everything is because of the declining departurs in terminal 1. The terminal is even still open.

Cargo and passenger statistics
The airport transports the most cargo worldwide with around 5 million tons. In 2019, there were 419,730 Hong Kong departures and HKG arrivals with over 70 million passengers. That is slightly less than the year before and that was because the airport was closed several times due to the demonstration that was held. This year there will be only 9 million Hong Kong arrivals / HKG departures due to corona. All of these 9 million passengers arrive or depart at the two runways of both 3,800 meters (12,467 ft). There are plans to create a third runway.
