The building is part of the HK$141.5bn (拢14.7bn) project to develop a three-runway system (3RS) at the airport.
The passenger building will have a floor area of 280,000m2 and will be design as one of the world鈥檚 greenest airports. Its features will include natural light indoors and a landscaped courtyard at the centre of the building. The extensive use of natural light is intended not only to improve the experience for the passenger, but also to help reduce energy, adding to the sustainable design credentials for the concourse.
鈥淭he airport is an important symbol of any city, and we are extremely pleased to continue making the Hong Kong International Airport the pride of Hong Kong,鈥 said Sean Chiao, president of Aecom Asia Pacific. 鈥淲e look forward to leveraging our connected expertise to deliver designs for this major project as well as the airport鈥檚 Terminal 2 Expansion for which we were awarded consultancy work earlier.鈥
