Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is central to the Hong Kong economy. Handling some 46 million passengers and 3.35 million tonnes of air cargo a year it is ranked the third busiest international passenger airport and the busiest international cargo airport in the world. With over 800 aircraft movements every day and around 95 airlines operating from HKIA, the airport links Hong Kong with about 150 destinations around the world, including some 40 cities on the Chinese Mainland.
To handle this flow of people, planes and cargo is a diverse airport community involving cargo terminals, freight forwarders, aircraft and equipment maintenance, baggage and ramp handlers, catering and aviation fuel services all working together in the most complex operational environment in Hong Kong.
The Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) is responsible for managing this community in a sustainable manner, ensuring that environmental management is assigned a high level of importance in every aspect of daily operations and airport development.
Continuing in our showcase series of outstanding environmental programmes within the HK business community, the Chamber's Environment Committee is organizing a ½ day visit to the HKIA where the AAHK’sGeneral Manager, Mr. John Lamond and Environmental Manager, Mr. Martin Putnam will brief us on their environmental programmes followed by a tour of both the airside and landside facilities.
