Hong Kong’s outgoing Airport Authority chairman Victor Fung Kwok-king has said the key maximising efficiency at Hong Kong International Airport was working with Shenzhen and Zhuhai airports in the Pearl River Delta.
According to a report in Sing Tao Daily, sister publication of The Standard, the authority was currently developing a 20-year plan that includes ways to improve “the efficiency of the airport, the runways and airport capacity”.
“If HKIA cooperates with Shenzhen, we would be needing fifth, sixth, and seventh runways,” Fung was quoted saying.
On budget carriers and the recent demise of Oasis Hong Kong Airlines, he was quoted saying that cooperation with Shenzhen and Zhuhai airports would create openings for budget airlines, as the flight time between these airports is less than an hour.
“In the future, there may be more Oases,” he was quoted saying.
