Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) has redesignated the existing North Runway (07L/25R) at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) as the Centre Runway (07C/25C), signifying an important milestone for the expansion of the airport into a three-runway system (3RS).
The new Third Runway will be put into operation in 2022. However, prior to that, the existing North Runway must be redesignated as the Centre Runway (07C/25C) according to International Civil Aviation Organization requirements. At midnight on December 2, the North Runway of HKIA was closed to undergo the final redesignation procedures.
