HKG - Realistic Routes and Gates Guide

I deem T1 mid concourse as a part of T1 so HKG only has 1 terminal now.

Many Hong Kong Airlines flights also depart from the north satellite (the small building next to T1 main you can see on satellite image), mostly their narrowbody flights I think.

The talk about moving out is set on the conditions that 2 phases of T2 are all complete (in a distant future but would be earlier than some other projects like LHR 3rd runway) and multiple rumors/inside information in the industry indicate that Cathay Pacific will occupy the Terminal 1 along with its subsidiaries and probably all its partners, while other carriers, like Hong Kong Airlines (mentioned that they may need to set up a new lounge in T2), and some airlines also mentioned (like Emirates, Air China) to be moved to T2.

I think I am talking about a very likely scenario in the distant future (rather than the reality) and this is what the game will be based on, so…

I think for us it’s just going to be a dream to have so many gates with the 3 runways it should help it to fill up fast.

Think I’ll unlock T2 last of all to keep to realism as much as possible

Yes, I agree with you regarding the scenario after T2 opens. But just to clarify, I’ve been checking the arrival boards for Hong Kong Airlines through HKIA official website, and I haven’t seen any of them arriving or departing at the North Satellite (Gate 13-21). Nearly all of them departed or arrived at the midfield concourse. So I think the statement ā€œmany of their flights depart from the north satelliteā€ might be incorrect, or am I wrong? (I mean the situation now

I traveled to HKG before for times and I did see Hong Kong Airlines narrowbodies depart from the north satellite. So that was from my experience rather than checking the recent data. You might be right since they could change the gates assignment at any time.

Can someone confirm these schedule? So far I only knew there will be 15 airlines moved to T2 on the first phase from multiple local news outlet. But most of them only confirmed HK Express, Hong Kong Airline, and Greater Bay. Some also add Air Asia and several airline from SEA region. Thats it, the rest are still not confirmed, until I found that picture. So I wanna know if those schedule legit? I got it from RTHK English News’ FB page.

I’m gonna do an update to this guide here in a a couple days, I’ll do some research into that as well before I do that. I know the terminal isn’t open yet, but I’ll see why airlines are talking about moving over there. I won’t be able to know gate allocations until flights actually start, however.
