It is colloquially known as '''Chek Lap Kok Airport''', due to the fact that it was built on the [[Islands and peninsulas of Hong Kong#Islands|island]] of [[Chek Lap Kok]] by [[land reclamation]], and also to distinguish it from the old Hong Kong Airport ([[Kai Tak]]). The airport opened for commercial operations in [[1998]], replacing [[Kai Tak Airport]], and is an important regional trans-shipment centre, passenger hub and gateway for destinations in [[China]], [[East Asia]] and [[Southeast Asia]]. Despite a relatively short history, Hong Kong International Airport has won several notable international "Best Airport" awards. In [[2001]]-[[2005]] and [[2007]] - [[2008]], it came first in [[Skytrax]]'s World Airport Awards, and second in 2006. <ref>{{cite web|title = Airport Star Ranking - 5 Star Airports|publisher = Skytrax|date= 2007|url = http://www.airlinequality.com/AirportRanking/5-Star.htm}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release | title =International travellers have voted Hong Kong Best Airport in the World .. | publisher =[[Skytrax]] | date =[[2008-07-14]] | url = http://www.worldairportawards.com/Awards_2008/Airport2008.htm | accessdate =2008-07-14}}</ref> HKIA operates twenty-four hours a day, and is one of the [[World's busiest airports by passenger traffic|world's busiest airports]] in terms of international passenger and cargo movement. In 2007, HKIA handled 47 million passengers and 3.7 million tonnes of cargo. It is the primary hub for [[Cathay Pacific]], [[Dragonair (airline)|Dragonair]], [[Hong Kong Express Airways]], [[Hong Kong Airlines]] and [[Air Hong Kong]]. ==History== {{see also|Aviation history of Hong Kong}} [[Image:Hong Kong International Airport.jpg|thumb|left|The interior of Terminal 1 at night-time, Hong Kong International Airport.]] The airport was built on a largely [[artificial island]] [[land reclamation|reclaimed]] from [[Chek Lap Kok]] and [[Lam Chau]]. The two former islands that were levelled comprise about 25% of the surface area of the airport's 12.48 km² platform. It is connected to the northern side of [[Lantau Island]] near the historic village of [[Tung Chung]], now expanded into a [[new town]]. Land reclamation for the airport added nearly 1% to the entirety of Hong Kong's surface area. It replaced the [[Kai Tak International Airport|former Hong Kong International Airport]] (popularly known by its former name Kai Tak Airport), which was located in the [[Kowloon City]] area with a single runway extending into [[Kowloon Bay]] close to the urban built-up areas.<ref>{{cite book | author=Plant, G.W.; Covil, C.S; Hughes, R.A. | title=Site Preparation for the New Hong Kong International Airport | publisher=American Society of Civil Engineers | year=1999 | id=ISBN 0-7277-2696-X}}</ref> Construction of the new airport was only part of the [[Airport Core Programme]], which also involved construction of new road and rail links to the airport, with associated bridges and tunnels, and major land reclamation projects on both [[Hong Kong Island]] and in [[Kowloon]]. The project is the most expensive airport project ever, according to [[Guinness Book of World Records|Guinness World Records]]. Construction of the new airport was voted as one of the Top 10 Construction Achievements of the 20th Century at the [[ConExpo]] conference in 1999.<ref>CONEXPO-CON/AGG '99 ([[1999]]). ''[http://www.tfhrc.gov/pubrds/julaug99/topten.htm Top 10 Construction Achievements of the 20th Century]''. ISBN 0-9530219-5-5. Retrieved [[November 10]], [[2005]].</ref> Opened on [[6 July]] [[1998]], a week later than [[Kuala Lumpur International Airport]], it took six years and US $20 billion to build. On that day at 6:25 a.m., Cathay Pacific's CX889 was the first flight to land at the airport, pipping the original CX292 from Rome which was the scheduled first arrival. The [[architect]]s were [[Foster and Partners]]. For three to five months after its opening, it suffered various severe organisational, mechanical, and technical problems that almost crippled the airport. At one time, the government reopened the [[cargo terminal]] at Kai Tak Airport to handle freight traffic due to a breakdown at the new cargo terminal, named Super Terminal One (ST1), however after six months the airport started to operate normally. On [[28 February]] [[2007]], a second terminal (check-in facility only) of the airport opened, with a new Airport Express platform opened serving the new terminal. The terminal also features a new shopping mall [[Hong Kong SkyCity|SkyPlaza]], providing a large variety of shops and restaurants, together with a few entertainment facilities. [[Hong Kong SkyCity|SkyCity]] is directly across from the airport named as Terminal 2. It currently includes the AsiaWorld-Expo and the SkyPier. Planned for development is a golf course, Marriott hotel, and business centre. <ref>[http://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/aboutus/scbrochure.html Hong Kong International Airport - About AA - SkyCity Brochure<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> A new passenger concourse designed to support narrow body aircraft is under construction to the north of the existing Y-shape concourse. It's scheduled for commissioning in 2009. With 10 gates, it will bring the total number of frontal gates at the airport to 58. The Hong Kong Airport Authority has begun studies on the further construction of large scale passenger concourse on the mid-field site of the airprot island, the last remaining piece of major land available for future expansion without additional reclamation. The initial thinking is to build a massive X-shape concourse with around 30-48 gates depending on the final configuration. The new concourse will be connected to the present Y-shape concourse by an extension of the pilotless underground rail. It's estimated that this new mid-field facility will cost about 10 billion HK dollars. {| border=1 align=right cellpadding=4 cellspacing=0 width="25%" style="margin: 0 0 1em 1em; background: #f9f9f9; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" !align="center" bgcolor="#0099FF" colspan="4"|''Operations and Statistics'' |- !colspan="4" bgcolor="lightgrey"|<small>Passenger movements</small> |- |<small>1998</small> |<small>28,631,000</small> |<small>2003</small> |<small>27,433,000</small> |- |<small>1999</small> |<small>30,394,000</small> |<small>2004</small> |<small>37,142,000</small> |- |<small>2000</small> |<small>33,374,000</small> |<small>2005</small> |<small>40,740,000</small> |- |<small>2001</small> |<small>33,065,000</small> |<small>2006</small> |<small>44,443,000</small> |- |<small>2002</small> |<small>34,313,000</small> |<small>2007</small> |<small>47,783,000 </small> |- !colspan="4" bgcolor="lightgrey"|<small>Airfreight movements in tonnes</small> |- |<small>1998</small> |<small>1,628,700</small> |<small>2003</small> |<small>2,642,100</small> |- |<small>1999</small> |<small>1,974,300</small> |<small>2004</small> |<small>3,093,900</small> |- |<small>2000</small> |<small>2,240,600</small> |<small>2005</small> |<small>3,402,000</small> |- |<small>2001</small> |<small>2,074,300</small> |<small>2006</small> |<small>3,580,000</small> |- |<small>2002</small> |<small>1,637,797</small> |<small>2007</small> |<small>3,742,000 </small> |- !colspan="4" bgcolor="lightgrey"|<small>Aircraft movements</small> |- |<small>1998</small> |<small>163,200</small> |<small>2003</small> |<small>187,500</small> |- |<small>1999</small> |<small>167,400</small> |<small>2004</small> |<small>237,300</small> |- |<small>2000</small> |<small>181,900</small> |<small>2005</small> |<small>263,500</small> |- |<small>2001</small> |<small>196,800</small> |<small>2006</small> |<small>280,000</small> |- |<small>2002</small> |<small>206,700</small> |<small>2007</small> |<small>295,580</small> |- |- !colspan=4 bgcolor=0099ff|Capacity |- ! colspan=3|<small>Passenger (current) |<small>45,000,000</small> |- ! colspan=3|<small>Passenger (ultimate) |<small>87,000,000</small> |- !colspan=3|<small>Cargo (current) |<small>3m tonnes |- !colspan=3|<small>Cargo (ultimate) |<small>9m tonnes |- !colspan=3|<small>Apron (current) |<small>96 |- !colspan=4 bgcolor=0099ff|Number of destinations |- !colspan=3|<small>International (air) |<small>154 |- !colspan=3|<small>International (water) |<small>6 |- |} The [[airport]] is operated by the [[Airport Authority Hong Kong]], a statutory body wholly owned by the Government of Hong Kong [[Special Administrative Region]]. The [[Civil Aviation Department (Hong Kong)|Civil Aviation Department]] (CAD) is responsible for the provision of air traffic control services, certification of Hong Kong registered aircraft, monitoring of airlines on their compliance with bilateral [[Air Services Agreement]]s, and the regulation of general [[civil aviation]] activities. The airport has two parallel runways, both of which are 3800 metres in length and 60 metres wide, enabling them to cater to the next generation of aircraft. The south runway has been given a [[Instrument Landing System|Category II Precision Approach]], while the north runway has the higher Category IIIA rating, which allows pilots to land in only 200 metre visibility. The two runways have an ultimate capacity of over 60 aircraft movements an hour. At present there are 49 frontal stands, 28 remote stands and 25 cargo stands. Five parking bays at the Northwest Concourse are already capable of accommodating the arrivals of the next generation of aircraft. The airport was the third [[World's busiest airports by passenger traffic|busiest airport for passenger traffic]] in [[Asia]] in 2005, and the world's second busiest airport for cargo traffic in [[2005]]. In terms of international traffic, the airport is the third busiest for passenger traffic and the busiest for cargo since its operation in [[1998]]. There are 87 international airlines providing about 760 scheduled passenger and all-cargo flights each day between Hong Kong and some 154 destinations worldwide. About 76 percent of these flights are operated with wide-bodied jets. There are also an average of approximately 31 non-scheduled passenger and cargo flights each week. The operation of scheduled air services to and from Hong Kong is facilitated by air services agreements between Hong Kong and other countries. Since the opening of HKIA, the [[Hong Kong Government|Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government]] has implemented a policy of progressive [[liberalisation]] of air services with the intention of promoting consumer choice and competition. The airport's long term expansion opportunities are subject to variables. A proposal to build a third runway has been under feasibility study and consultation but would be very expensive as it would involve additional reclamation from deep waters, and the building cost of the third runway may be as high as the building cost of the entire airport. {{Fact|date=February 2007}} On the other hand, there exists only one airway between Hong Kong and China {{Fact|date=January 2008}}, and this single route is often and easily backed up causing delays in both Hong Kong and China. Finally, China requires that aircraft flying the single air route between Hong Kong and China be at an altitude of least 15,000 feet. Talks are underway to persuade the Chinese military to relax its airspace restriction in view of worsening air traffic congestion at the airport. ==Operations== ===Main airlines based at HKIA=== [[Image:Concept Plan for Lantau.jpg|thumb|right|Map showing airport location (in yellow) on the north shore of [[Lantau Island]]]] Several airlines are based at Hong Kong International Airport: * [[Cathay Pacific]], is the [[flag carrier]] of Hong Kong. Cathay operates a mixed all-widebody fleet of one hundred and fifteen Airbuses and Boeings, providing scheduled services to the rest of Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, Europe, South Africa and North America. ** [[Dragonair]] (subsidiary of Cathay) operates 39 aircraft, providing scheduled passenger services to and from Mainland China and Japan, it also operates cargo services to much of the world. * [[Hong Kong Express]] operates smaller aircraft on scheduled services mainly to Mainland China on routes shared with Cathay and Dragonair. Hong Kong Express also operates a helicopter service to areas close by (e.g. Shenzhen and Macau) * [[Air Hong Kong|Air Hong Kong Limited]] operates scheduled all-cargo services between Hong Kong and [[Japan]], [[Korea]], [[Thailand]], and [[Singapore]]. * [[Hong Kong Airlines]], operates scheduled passenger services to Korea, Thailand, and China. Recreational flying in Hong Kong is catered for by the [[Hong Kong Aviation Club]], which undertakes flying training for private pilots and provides facilities for private owners. The [[Government Flying Service (Hong Kong)|Government Flying Service]] provides short and long range search and rescue services, police support, medical evacuation and general purpose flights for the Government. ===Passenger facilities=== [[Image:HKIA-ME3B.JPG|thumb|right|Terminal 1 Departures Hall entrance]] The airport is one of the most accessible in operation today. Despite its size, the passenger terminal is designed for maximum convenience. A simple layout and effective signage, moving walkways and the automated people mover allow quick and easy movement throughout the building. The airport also features a driverless [[people mover]] system consisting of 3 stations to provide fast transportation from check-in area to gates (and vice versa). These trains travel at 62km/h and the service is provided for free to all passengers and crew. ([[Hong Kong International Airport Automated People Mover|HKIA Automated People Mover]]) Terminal 1 of the HKIA is currently the second largest airport passenger terminal building of the world (this title measures the area of one terminal building only). At its opening, Terminal 1 was the largest airport passenger terminal building, with a total gross floor area of 550,000 m². It briefly conceded the status to [[Bangkok]]'s [[Suvarnabhumi Airport]] (563,000 m²) when the latter opened on [[15 September]] [[2006]], but reclaimed the title when the East Hall was expanded, bring its total area to the current 570,000 m². (The East Hall expansion included a 39,000 m² expansion to SkyMart, a shopping mall. ) Terminal 1's title as the world's largest was surrendered to [[Beijing Capital International Airport]]'s Terminal 3 (986,000 m²<ref>[http://en.beijing2008.cn/news/olympiccities/beijing/n214259388.shtml The 'dragon' unveiled: Beijing's T3 starts operations - The Official Website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>) on [[February 29|29 Feb]] [[2008]]. Terminal 2 of the Hong Kong International Airport, together with the Skyplaza, opened on February 28, 2007 along with the opening of the [[Airport (MTR)|Airport Station's]] Platform 3<ref>{{PDFlink|[http://mtr.com.hk/eng/corporate/file_rep/PR-07-012-E.pdf Press release of platform 3 opening]|89.1&nbsp;[[Kibibyte|KiB]]<!-- application/pdf, 91318 bytes -->}}</ref>. It is only a check-in and processing facility for departing passengers with no gates or arrival facilities. (Passengers are transported underground to gates at "Terminal 1".) So far [[Air Asia]], [[Bangkok Airways]], [[East Star Airlines]], [[Emirates Airline]], [[Hong Kong Express]], [[Hong Kong Airlines]], [[Jetstar Asia Airways]], [[Jet Airways]], [[Royal Jordanian Airlines]], [[Philippine Airlines]], [[Siem Reap Airways]], [[South African Airways]], [[Thai Airways International]] and [[Uni Air]] have relocated their check-in operations to T2. The [[Hong Kong SkyCity|SkyPlaza]] is situated within Terminal 2. The [[Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre]] (BAC) is located within the confines of the airport and has its own terminal and facilities separate from the public terminal. It provides a full range of services for executive aircraft and passengers, including passenger lounge, private rooms and showers, business centre facilities, ground handling, baggage handling, fuelling, security, customs and flight planning. Designated spaces and hangarage are also provided at the BAC for private aircraft. ===Intermodal transportation hub=== [[Image:View of HK Airport from air.JPG|thumb|right|A view of the airport from the air]] In order to sustain the growth of passengers, the Airport Authority formulated a “push and pull through” strategy to expand its connections to new sources of passengers and cargo. This means adapting the network to the rapidly-growing markets in China and in particular to the [[Pearl River Delta]] region (PRD). In 2003, two major events improved connections to the PRD. One was the opening of a new Airport-Mainland Coach Station. The coach station features a 230 m² waiting lounge and sheltered bays for ten coaches. The dedicated coach terminal provides a comfortable environment for passengers travelling between HKIA and different cities in PRD. A huge number of buses are operating per day to transport passengers between HKIA and major cities in the Mainland.<ref>[http://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/cbt/cross.html Transport to Guangdong]</ref> The Coach Station was relocated to Terminal 2 in 2007. The 36 bays at the new Coach Station allow cross-border coaches to make 240 trips a day carrying passengers between the airport and 70 cities and towns in the PRD. Local tour and hotel coaches also operate from there. HKIA’s network to China is also expanded by the opening of [[SkyPier]] in late September 2003, offering millions in the PRD direct access to the airport. Passengers coming to SkyPier by high-speed ferries can board buses for onward flights while arriving air passengers can board ferries at the pier for their journeys back to the PRD. Passengers travelling both directions can bypass custom and immigration formalities, which reduces transit time. Four ports – [[Shekou]], [[Shenzhen]], [[Macau]] and [[Humen Town|Humen]] ([[Dongguan]]) – were initially served. As of August 2007, SkyPier serves [[Shenzhen]]'s [[Shekou]] and [[Fuyong]], [[Dongguan]]'s [[Humen Town|Humen]], [[Macau]], [[Zhongshan]] and [[Zhuhai]]. Moreover, passengers travelling from [[Shekou]] and [[Macau]] piers can even complete airline check-in procedures with participating airlines before boarding the ferries and go straight to the boarding gate for the connecting flight at HKIA. The provision of cross boundary coach and ferry services has transformed HKIA into an inter-modal transportation hub combining air, sea and land transport. === Baggage and cargo facilities=== [[Image:Hkia from lantau.JPG|thumb|right|The airport, viewed from the [[Ngong Ping Skyrail]], Lantau Island]] Ramp handling services are provided by [[Hong Kong Airport Services Limited]] (HAS), [[Jardine Air Terminal Services Limited]], and Menzies Aviation Group. Their services include the handling of mail and passenger baggage, transportation of cargo, aerobridge operations and the operation of passenger stairways. The airport has an advanced baggage handling system (BHS), the main section of which is located in the basement level of the passenger terminal, and a separate remote transfer facility at the western end of the main concourse for handling of tight connection transfer bags. HKIA currently handles well over three million tonnes of cargo annually.<ref>[http://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/afacilities/index.html Air Cargo - HKIA]</ref> Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited operates one of the two air cargo terminals at the airport. Its headquarters, the 328,000 m² SuperTerminal 1<ref>[http://www.hactl.com/en/superterminal/default.htm SuperTerminal 1]</ref>, is the world’s second largest stand-alone air cargo handling facility, after the opening of the West Cargo Handling Area of the Shanghai Pudong International Airport in 26 Mar 2008. The designed capacity is 2.6 million tonnes of freight a year. The second air cargo terminal is operated by Asia Airfreight Terminal Company Limited, and currently has a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes a year.<ref>[http://www.aat.com.hk/our_terminal/ Asia Airfreight Terminal - Our Terminal]</ref> It is envisaged that HKIA’s total air cargo capacity per annum will reach nine million tonnes ultimately.<ref>[http://www.gov.hk/en/about/abouthk/factsheets/docs/civil_aviation.pdf Hong Kong: The Facts - Civil Aviation]</ref> ===Aircraft maintenance services=== Both line and base maintenance services are undertaken by [[HAECO|Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company]] (HAECO), while China Aircraft Services Limited and Pan Asia Pacific Aviation Services Limited carry out line maintenance. Line maintenance services include routine servicing of aircraft performed during normal turnaround periods and regularly scheduled layover periods. Base maintenance covers all airframe maintenance services and, for this, HAECO has a three-bay hangar, which can accommodate up to three Boeing B747-400 aircraft and two Airbus A320 aircraft, and an adjoining support workshop. HAECO also has the world's largest mobile hangar, weighing over 400 tons. It can be used to enclose half of a wide-body airplane, so that the whole facility can fully enclose four 747s when the mobile hangar is used. A new two-bay hangar that locates next to the current one will be in operation by the end of 2006. ===Airport based ground services=== [[Image:HKIA Apron1.JPG|thumb|right|Hong Kong International Airport - Outside]] [[Image:VHHH baggage claim area.jpg||thumb|right|Baggage Claim Area]] The Air Traffic Control Complex (ATCX), located at the centre of the airfield, is the nerve centre of the entire air traffic control system. Some 370 air traffic controllers and supporting staff work around the clock to provide air traffic control services for the safe and efficient flow of aircraft movements within the [[Hong Kong Flight Information Region]] (FIR). At the Air Traffic Control Tower, controllers provide 24-hour aerodrome control services to aircraft operating at the airport. A Backup Air Traffic Control Centre/Tower constructed to the north of the ATCX is available for operational use in the event normal services provided in the ATCX are disrupted by unforeseen circumstances. Apart from serving as an operational backup, the facilities are also used for air traffic control training. The Airport Meteorological Office (AMO) of the [[Hong Kong Observatory]] (HKO) provides weather services for the aviation community The AMO makes routine and special weather observations and provides fixed-time aerodrome forecasts and landing forecasts for the HKIA. It issues aerodrome warnings on adverse weather for protection of aerodrome facilities and aircraft on the ground. It also issues significant weather information on thunderstorms, [[tropical cyclone]]s, [[turbulence]], icing, and other hazardous weather which may affect aviation safety in the area within which Hong Kong is responsible for the provision of air traffic services. To enhance the safety of aircraft landing and taking off from HKIA, the AMO issues alerts of low-level [[windshear]] and turbulence. Rescue and fire fighting services within the airport are covered by the Airport Fire Contingent of the [[Hong Kong Fire Services Department]]. The contingent has a strength of 282 uniformed members, operating two fire stations and two rescue berths for 24-hour emergency calls. It is equipped with 14 fire appliances which can respond to incidents within two minutes in optimum conditions of visibility and surface conditions, satisfying the relevant recommendation of the [[International Civil Aviation Organisation]]. Two high capacity rescue boats, supported by eight speed boats, form the core of sea rescue operations. ==Airlines and destinations== {| class="Wikitable collapsible collapsed" width="100%" height="70px" style="text-align: left; border: 0px; margin-top: 0.2em;" |- ! style="background-color: #E0FFFF;"| Destinations by Region |- | *'''[[People's Republic of China]]''' -

It takes 24 minutes to reach the airport from the central [[Hong Kong (MTR)|Hong Kong station]], via [[Kowloon (MTR)|Kowloon]] and [[Tsing Yi (MTR)|Tsing Yi]] stations. Airport Express passengers may check-in for their flights up to a day before their departure, depending on the airline they are travelling with. Check-in counters are available at both the Hong Kong and Kowloon stations on the Airport Express Line. Facing the front of the train, doors to both Terminals 1 and 2 open at the same time to the left and right respectively upon arrival at the Airport Station. Passengers may also take the 1-minute journey to [[AsiaWorld-Expo]], which is located also in [[Chek Lap Kok]]. This portion of the [[Airport Express (MTR)|Airport Express]] was opened from 20 December 2005. In the latest policy address by Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, the chief executive of the Special Administrative Region, the government will soon start the study of building a railway connecting between Hong Kong International Airport and [[Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport]]. {{Fact|date=March 2008}} ===Bus=== Numerous city bus services are provided between the airport and most of the city, both by [[Citybus (Hong Kong)|Citybus]], [[New Lantao Bus]], [[Long Win Bus]] and [[Discovery Bay Bus]] (DB02R) from both the Airport Ground Transportation Centre and Cheong Tat Road. In the various bus terminals in the City, bus routes that go to the Airport are marked with the letter "A", "E", "S" and "N" on the route number. No matter where you are located in Hong Kong, any bus that starts with an "A" or an "E" on Citybus' CityFlyers or Long Win Bus' Airbus means that it goes to the airport, except routes E21A, E21X and E31. Some of the buses are also marked with a special orange color. These buses are also specially designed to carry large amounts of luggage. Coach service is available to major cities and towns in [[Guangdong]], such as [[Shenzhen]], [[Dongguan]] and [[Guangzhou]]. ===Ferry=== Direct ferry services are available from the airport to various destinations throughout the [[Pearl River Delta]]. Passengers using these services are treated as transit passengers and are not considered to have entered Hong Kong for immigration purposes. For this reason, access to the ferry terminal is before immigration in the airport for arriving passengers. Check-in services are available at these piers. Four ports – [[Shekou]], [[Shenzhen]], [[Macau]] and [[Humen Town|Humen]] ([[Dongguan]]) – were initially served, extending to [[Guangzhou]] and [[Zhongshan]] at the end of 2003. The [[Zhuhai]] service began on [[10 July]] [[2007]] <ref>[http://www.news.gov.hk/en/category/infrastructureandlogistics/070710/html/070710en06002.htm New HK-Zhuhai ferry service starts<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> At this time, these services are available to air passengers only. ===Taxi=== {{main|Taxicabs of Hong Kong}} The airport is served by all three different types of taxi, distinguished by their colour: *Urban taxis (red) connect the Airport with [[Hong Kong Island]], [[Kowloon]], and parts of the new towns of [[Tsuen Wan]], [[Sha Tin]] and [[Tseung Kwan O]]. (Urban taxis can reach entire Hong Kong except southern [[Lantau Island]]). *New Territories taxis (green) connect the airport with the [[New Territories]], except those parts of the Tsuen Wan, Sha Tin and Tseung Kwan O served by urban taxis. *Lantau taxis (blue) connect the airport with the rest of [[Lantau Island]]. ==Accidents and incidents== * On [[22 August]] [[1999]], [[Mandarin Airlines Flight 642|China Airlines Flight 642]] (operated by subsidiary Mandarin Airlines), which was landing in [[1999 Pacific typhoon season#Typhoon Sam (Luding)|Typhoon Sam]] at Hong Kong International Airport en route from Bangkok International Airport (now [[Bangkok]] [[Don Mueang International Airport]]) to Hong Kong, rolled over and caught fire, coming to rest upside down beside the runway. Three people onboard were killed. * On [[July 31]] [[2000]] a man, armed with a pistol, forced his way through a security checkpoint and held a woman [[hostage]] on a Cathay Pacific aircraft. The man surrendered after two and a half hours. {{PDFlink|[http://www.skyjack.co.il/pdf/Criminal_Acts_Against_Civil_Aviation_2000.pdf]|1.92&nbsp;[[Mebibyte|MiB]]<!-- application/pdf, 2018139 bytes -->}} *On [[July 8]], [[2008]], [[Air China|Air China Flight 103]] from [[Tianjin Binhai International Airport|Tianjin]] bumped into an engineering vehicle after landing.
