Airport Authority Hong Kong
Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) is a statutory body of the Hong Kong government, headquartered at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) in Chek Lap Kok. Established in 1995, its primary mission is to operate, develop, and maintain HKIA, strengthening its position as a leading international aviation hub and a key economic driver for Hong Kong. AAHK’s activities encompass airport operations, significant infrastructure expansion like the Three-runway System, promoting sustainability, and fostering aviation talent through its Academy. It is also developing "SKYTOPIA," an Airport City, and contributes significantly to the region’s economy.
