Hong Kong International Airport/Chek Lap Kok International Airport
(IATA: HKG / ICAO: VHHH)
(Space for photos)
General Info:
Hong Kong International Airport, or as it is known in some circles Chek Lap Kok International Airport to distinguish it from the old Hong Kong Airport Kai Tak which it replaced in 1998, is the only airport for the territory of Hong Kong and is situated to the west of the region comprising of excavated land around the island of Chek Lap Kok in the New Territories.
The initial planning for a new airport due to the severe overcrowding of Kai Tak was planned in 1974, where Chek Lap Kok was identified as good spot as it would allow for multiple runways and round the clock operations being situated away from the population centres around Kowloon Bay. In 1982 plans and engineering studies were conducted but they were shelved in 1983 due to the high economic and development costs and also due to pressure from the British Government which was cutting back due to the recession. In 1989 the plans were brought back out and studies were undertaken again for the Chek Lap Kok site as well as a close one between Hong Kong Island and Lantau and just maintaining the current Kai Tak. In October 1989, the current plan was chosen and announced by the governor and work began in 1991, with the airport opening in July 1998.
The airport as of 2010 is the worlds busiest for goods traffic and in 2015 it was the 4th busiest in the world for international passenger traffic, with 68 million passengers transiting the airport. Its busiest year was 2018 with 74.6 million passengers whereas last year due to the fallout of the pandemic in 2020, the airport had 53 million passengers. This is likely to increase massively with the opening of the new terminal 2.

Limitations
Not sure there are any. It’ll take a while to build the airport up but that’s part of the fun. Long taxi times for some of the gates, both for arriving and departing flights. Queues can quickly form if takeoffs aren’t being handled quickly, though there is a lot of taxiway before any repercussions occur.

Player Strategies
@CJ_RVWilliams (based on experience at release 3.4.0) – Immediately unlock the cargo terminal from the get go. Many AI contracts from the local contracts roll will be A306Fs and B752Fs. These are incredibly useful for early XP gains. From there, keep buying terminals and stands, trying to keep your stands equally dispersed between the three terminals and their respective runways (avoid the south section of terminal T1 at first). Make liberal use the stand blocking mechanic. There are a lot of stands that overlap where F planes will reduce neighboring stand’s capacity to a D plane.
