HKIA Welcomes the Airbus A380 on its
Inaugural Flight to Hong Kong
Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA)
welcomed the Airbus A380 as it touched down for the first time in Hong Kong.
The superjumbo, which is the world's largest passenger aircraft, landed at
1225 on a technical route proving flight from Toulouse, France.
At a ceremony to mark the aircraft's arrival, Dr David J Pang, Chief
Executive Officer of Airport Authority Hong Kong, said, "We are delighted
that HKIA was among 10 key airports of the world to participate in this
phase of the A380's type certification. As an international aviation hub,
HKIA is committed to meeting the needs of passengers, customers and business
partners. Making our airport ready for the A380 is central to that
commitment."
Airport Management Director Howard Eng added, "We have invested HK$100
million for the corresponding facility enhancement to ensure that HKIA meets
the Civil Aviation Department's licensing requirements for the A380 and
other Code F aircraft."
The improvements completed earlier this year included widening taxiways
and upgrading parking stands. These changes enabled HKIA to obtain an
aerodrome license for A380 operation in July.
While at HKIA, the superjumbo will go through a series of facility
trials, including parking at airbridges, connecting to fixed ground power
and receiving pre-conditioned air. Ramp Services, such as catering, line
maintenance and aircraft refueling, will also be tested during the A380's
overnight stay.
