Three-Runway System in Chek Lap Kok

The Government gave in-principle approval to the Airport Authority Hong Kong
(AAHK) in March 2012 to adopt for planning purpose the option of expanding the
existing airport into a three-runway system (3RS). The proposed 3RS development
mainly involved reclamation of about 650 ha new land to the immediate north of the
existing airport and comprised the new third runway, a new passenger concourse
building, and expansion of the existing Terminal 2 building. On 17 April 2015, the
Board agreed to the proposed amendments to designate an area for the proposed
reclamation to the north of the Hong Kong International Airport as “OU” annotated
“Airport” and two areas in the east and west of the proposed reclamation as “OU”
annotated “Airport Service Area”. On 8 May 2015, the draft Chek Lap Kok OZP No.
S/I-CLK/13, incorporating the amendments was exhibited for public inspection.
After giving consideration to the 12,208 representations and 346 comments, the
Board on 26 February 2016 decided not to propose any amendment to the draft OZP.
The draft OZP was approved by the CE in C on 26 April 2016 and renumbered as
S/I-CLK/14.
