The Airport Authority announced the upcoming opening of Terminal 2, which will handle check-in, immigration, and security before passengers proceed to Terminal 1 for departure. This development is part of a larger megaproject called 'Skytopia'.
The Airport Authority said on Friday that Terminal 2 would open on May 27 and travellers would check in, clear immigration and undergo security checks before proceeding to Terminal 1 for departure.
The dedicated departure concourse and boarding gates were slated to open at the end of next year, it added.
Authority chairman Fred Lam Tin-fuk described Terminal 2 as “a new milestone” in the airport’s development, prioritising efficiency and passenger comfort.
“We believe that Terminal 2 can divert departing flights efficiently to welcome passengers during the summer holiday,” Lam said, adding that the authority would turn the airport into “Skytopia”, a megadevelopment offering experiences that spanned land, water and air.
Acting financial secretary Michael Wong Wai-lun said the government would continue to pursue multiple measures to ensure Hong Kong’s role as a global aviation hub.
