Breathtaking photos of Hong Kong airport
glory days.
How many of you have experienced one of the
most accommodating airports, Hong Kong International Airport, which opened in
July 1998? Before then, there was an airport that wasn’t as friendly as the new
one, at least to those who land and take off airplanes as it is located in the
middle of Kowloon City and its runway just stood out to the sea. The pilot had
to make a 45 degrees turn right before the landing just right above residential
apartment buildings, where both those residents and passengers on the landing
planes could see each other. Now after 15 years of the closure, the ex-airport
is reborn as a seaport, Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, which is going to accommodate
cruise ships and other large vessels.
Enjoy seeing the photos and reading the
article about the long-served airport in Hong Kong.
