Cathay eager for end-of-2024 commissioning of HKIA's Three-Runway System

The airline said the system will increase intermodal activity.

Flagship carrier Cathay Pacific has backed aviation measures laid out in the 2024-25 budget.

In a statement, the airline said it fully supports the government’s “proactive plans to leverage the opportunities presented by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Three-Runway System to foster increased intermodal connectivity and continue to develop flight services along existing major routes as well as routes connecting Hong Kong with Belt and Road Initiative countries and regions.”

“The Three-Runway System at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) will bring new and exciting opportunities for the aviation industry and Cathay looks forward to its scheduled commissioning at the end of 2024,” Cathay added.

Cathay also applauded the growth of air cargo services at the HKIA, adding that the HKIA Logistics Park in Dongguan has been “greatly facilitating the development of intermodal cargo transshipments” within the Greater Bay Area.

 
Meanwhile, Cathay said it is also “very encouraged by the government’s commitment to exploring ways to facilitate increased adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Hong Kong through supportive procedures, policy measures and infrastructure development.”
