Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) has held a groundbreaking ceremony for the city international airport’s Midfield development.
The Midfield area is the last piece of airside land for large-scale development. Lying between the airport’s two runways on the west side of Terminal 1, the development project was unveiled earlier this year with the first phase scheduled for completion in 2015. Plans include expanding the Midfield Concourse and its apron area and incorporating a wide range of green initiatives, such as installing one of the largest collections of rooftop solar panels in the region.
Phase 1 involves constructing a five-level Concourse with a floor area of 839,600sq ft (78,000m2) and over 35 green features, 20 aircraft parking stands, an automated people mover (APM) from Terminal 1, a cross-field taxiway and other facilities.
