Three-Runway System 

It's my homework

LOL

true one :D

No one cares

Carrier style landing!! :D

Combat landing!

Airline

Combat Landing.

carrier landing are the same, 3-degree glide slope. the difference is navy pilot won't flare before touchdown.

Anthony, I love the sound of the "Kai Tak, pay homage to the single runway that paved the way Chek Lap Kok.

Lol

@@81Bayer_DFW It should be an homage to the two businessmen, who paved way to Aviation in Hong Kong. Without them, there wouldn't be Kai Tak AIrport. The story of Kai Tak started in 1912 when two businessmen Ho Kai and Au Tak formed the Kai Tak Investment Company to reclaim land in Kowloon for development.

Yes!

Jay Rex Solis i dont agree i like it to keep it as Kai tak and not 2 businessesmen

Dallas/Fort Worth International [to O'hare] : Hold my beer.

Those are crosswind runways though, so not really the same. Also, they're not built over the ocean.

@@StanleySchmengie Sorry, Bucky. Denver has only 6 runways. O'hare and DFW have 7 but O'hare has intersecting runways that cannot be used with the main ones. So DFW still king!!

Edwards AFB: *Hold my 39000 ft dirt runway*

Except no one wants to go your pandemic ridden IL death trap 🤮

Growth of air traffic might have already come to an abrupt end after the Great Pandemic. This 3rd runway could become a very expensive white elephant.

That’s why all the airport in the US are outdated, Blame democracy 😂

right

Why can't we have both?

@@falkkiwiben I didn't say you couldn't. I was merely making a point.

what happened to atc?

World Aviation HD They have to handle 3 runways now

Cycling Cycles ... well, KATL and KORD controllers currently handle 5 parallel runways, KLAX 4 runways... I don't think they'll have a problem. They'll be able to run parallel approaches on the outside runways and use the center for departures.

Whoa, I never noticed that. I guess they really are the unsung heroes

Yea, ATC is the shit. Especially at Heathrow.

I am surprised the Chinese has not insisted on a name change for CP. I believe centuries ago with the old explorers some of them used the term "Cathay" as a slur and has UK origin rather than Chinese heritage.

Cathay Pacific is not a government-owned airline

Mister :All 5 stars airlines Originaly are from Asia,included cathay pacific.

Isn't Cathay a good name

With AA Wifi and TSA Precheck. In Hong Kong. Phenomenal.

What do you mean Southwest?

Joshua Gamingz Southwest Airlines, a US domestic* low-cost carrier. Largest low-cost carrier in the world, actually. They operate 737s exclusively. *: they do have some international service to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean

He's checking in at 9:30 am and his flight only departs at 5:15. My guy is expecting some shit to go down for sure.

“Airline” that is an amazing name for an airline

the decision of seitching the double Y terminal to a single Y one is just stupid

Peter Chan Yes, it is like they only want to move 10~15 years ahead instead of 30~50 years like the original project or similar projects in Middle East and Beijing.

i think the authority is afraid of public opposition for a more expensive double Y terminal

True and that's how New York and London ended up with 3 and 4 airports and the big airports with 6~9 terminals.

Its to expand the capacity of services and cargo to include more flights in and out at any particular time. A well planned expansion can be cost effective for both the community at large and the international bond holders.

crissy214 kai*

Clive Graham It's now full of residential buildings and a new cruise terminal sits at the tip of the old runway. Would be interesting though.

@@HakingMC not to mention that buildings have gotten higher in that region since 97

Kansai is underused

Agree. Now that 3rd runway is going ahead, it will provide the model for all future expansions. A 4th runway can be done quite straightforwardly by copying the 3rd runway!

In masterplan 2050 maybe lol

Jay L no, we need another new airport

Shing Fung Tse possible maybe south of lantau island on water ofcourse or out side of hk island like east or south

Jay L thats a good idea The third runway will be just for 20-40 years and if Hong Kong want to be a global hub.

I think the only thing that could have been done at Kai Tak is extend the runway....not really worth it

Imagine if Kai Tak WAS the third runway, 2 airports, it would have been really good for Kowloon and the New Territories, where I live

Chek Lap Kok Airport was the expansion that Kai Tak needed, lol.

nouth runway will be closed

omg dnhug its here omg omg omg =D

Natalie So For a short limited time, btw, HKG started operation with the North Runway closed

Natalie So If it does not close then pilots will die from being confused by 2 25L and 2 07R

To prevent confusion, the third runway would be probably named 24/08

I think the officials can consider building a Ferris wheel or observation deck there!

@@HungryWalker how about a ferris wheel and a covered spotting deck is great. We can film the planes from the ferris wheel while it goes round!!! LOL!

@@HungryWalker we now have a skybridge and an observation deck at the north satellite terminal which is pretty neat though.

@@MrRay168 Yeah I saw some videos of the skybridge. It must be amazing to witness aircrafts taxiing underneath! Hope to see it in person one day! I also wonder if there will be any attractions at the 11 Skies which is still under construction.

And?

It already started.

3 runways are now in operation but the development is still going on

But, like O'hare, there is very little room to expand. It's easy to get all the land you need if you create an island. LHR is impressive though...only 2 runways, lol. I still can't believe it.

KSFO is built out solid and no one in their right mind would expand anything at either Oakland or San Jose either. The major economic problem in that area is housing for those who are working day after day in the facilities. Governor Reagan in the 1960s signed a law requiring all communities and counties to create and maintain 7 year master plans for expansion and housing or risk losing State taxes. No one enforced it. Only now are people realizing there is a major cost to the lack of housing for those who work at airports.

@@martintheiss743 high rise housing, more fill, new runway at SFO. Upgrade Bart/Cal Train . Easy ;-)!

Me too it had character. I like airports like St Marten/Rio/San Fransisco because they are cramp and make plane spotting very interesting. Even London Hethrow and LAX are cool to watch because they are so cramp and busy. Most of the new airports are huge but hard to enjoy.

imagine if Kai Tak WAS the third runway

yeah tampa, I live in sydney and the airport is very interesting and busy, there are lots of secret little plane spotting areas. Like roads, islands, holes in fences, and all that.

Kai Tak was too dangerous

Kai tak is a cruise terminal noe

@Plsdonothate me They said it would take 4 years

Around 30-40 percent of reclamation is completed.

Machin Truc don't worry...All of that is taken into consideration.

Machin Truc they can build dams around the entire airport to prevent flooding in the future. Plus the airport is designed to be a few meters higher than sea level

Not the point guys, the rising of the sea is a hint that you shouldn't build this airport.🌏🌱

IKR I was like LOL wat XD

What do you propose as for a name then? It moves people, it is self-explanatory

That's a fair point. I just believe that the phrase "people mover" gives a rather...insensitive I guess...tone, almost implying people are objects XD

errr... people mover is the common name for those type of transportation. APM is a common abbreviation for automated people mover on many airports and non airports. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_mover

They could call it a Train-like Rapid Automated Interconnected Network ...or Train for short

I second that! #SolarPoweredFuture

It will be ready in no time. Without a doughbt. They are already pretty much finished the giant bridge/tunnel going across to Macau and Shenzhen, China.

I like your optimism. But the reclamation works have only just begun. 8 more yrs of construction to go.

+barry 王 And also Changi's Y-shaped Option.

+barry 王 It also looks similar to Las Vegas McCarran Airport's D Gates.

+barry 王 they have the same architect Foster

+Alex Kelley it's not totally Y option it is X with the expansion, and HK has that X option after the Y option (Terminal 1) since 2001 for the midfield, but they change to I option .. so they will apply the X option in the new reclame area

right!! and they change it to I shape, it could ve been better with the original X shape plan..

KLIA? Kuala Lumpur?

Yes lamo

for an international megahub?

wayneyd2 there’s a helicopter terminal in downtown Hong Kong and also in nearby Shenzhen and Macau. Airspace is too constrained in southern China so I assume no seaplanes are allowed

Great idea.

@@tianshuojiang6795 How about private jets? Where are they going to land in Greater Bay Area?

In direct revenue, it likely never will, however in terms of making the expansion worth the cost due to increased economic activity, probably around 8 to 12 years.

Just get the infinite money from china

Gd things always are!

Because it is an absolute nightmare to control 3 runways from just one ATC tower

agree

Agree but useless

Natalie So currently terminal 2 only serves as a check in place for low cost airlines. It is likely that it will serve low cost airlines in the future

Tianshuo Jiang yes like Cathay pafiac

The day when Thanos defeated by the Avengers.

I think you need to think about climate change and set your priorities right.

@@timothylaukens9564 nah earth is good mate, it's the humans that needs to adapt. Those who can't will just simply die. And the earth will be just fine.

Master Plans 2030 are just to develop how the situation will be at that point of time. A 2026 opening will be 4 years ahead. Just plans 4 to 5 years down the line after the commissioning of this terminal.

They don't want the germans to feel bad, since they are working on the extention of an existing airport since 10 years and struggling to get it operational
