Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) has expanded its Airport City development blueprint for Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) to integrate an ecosystem for the art industry, AsiaWorld-Expo Phase 2 development, a marina with ancillary facilities, a fresh food market and more.

According to the airport, these new projects will promote high-end commercial, tourism and leisure activities, and are expected to be completed from 2026 to 2031.

The expanded Airport City blueprint is underpinned by land resources on the Hong Kong Port Island of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the bay area between the airport island and Tung Chung, more than doubling the scale of development. The Airport City at HKIA will be the largest in the region, with the expansion projected to further develop the economy of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.

First unveiled in 2019, the Airport City blueprint combines the airport’s core functions with related business segments, leveraging the airport’s geographical location with a view to seizing the opportunities brought by various new infrastructures. AAHK has since taken forward various projects, including a new hotel and three Grade-A office towers, both opened for business already, as well as 11 SKIES, a complex integrating retail, dining and entertainment facilities scheduled to open in phases from the second half of 2025.
