Taking electronics out of the carry-on luggage for preflight #security screening seems like a standard procedure, but it’ll soon become a thing of the past in #HKIA.    Starting this month, we’ll begin implementing a new #smart security screening system in phases, making HKIA the world's first to operate smart security screening channels in the entire airport. The existing 2D screening capability will be replaced by 3D and 360° CT-based X-ray scanning technology, allowing passengers to keep their electronic devices, liquids, aerosols and gels in their carry-on luggage, significantly streamlining the screening procedure. The new system is also packed with highly sophisticated features such as auto tray recirculation, in-built tray sterilisation, and automatic alerts for uncollected items, vastly enhancing the passenger experience and operational performance. To reduce unnecessary physical contact with the security staff, we’re also employing full-body scanners for further screening to replace the existing manual search that uses a hand-held detector, in which advanced imaging technology will accurately locate concealed items while respecting our passengers’ privacy.   The new passenger security screening system is already operational in part of the South and North Departures Immigration Halls of Terminal 1 since 2 July. With plans to reach a total of 50 channels and 32 full-body scanners in phases in Terminal 1, the new system is expected to increase overall passenger handling throughput by 20%. These upgrades are an exciting addition to the world-class infrastructure and airport experience at HKIA, without compromising passenger and flight safety. #hongkongairport #hkairport #hkg #airports #aviation #HKIAtechnology #technology #airportoperations #safety #smartairport

We’re thrilled to announce that we have recently awarded the tender for the development of #autonomous vehicles and the associated transportation system for carrying visitors between the Hong Kong Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (#HZMB) and #SKYCITY at #HKIA, the first-ever autonomous mass #transportation system in Hong Kong. The tender was awarded to KCM - PML Joint Venture, formed by KC Smart Mobility Company Limited (KC Smart Mobility), a subsidiary of Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings Limited, and Prime Motors Limited. The joint venture has also joined forces with Baidu, the global market leader in autonomous driving technology, as technology provider of the intelligent transportation integrated system; and Xiamen King Long as vehicle supplier. The autonomous transportation system will operate on Airportcity Link, a dedicated vehicular bridge, allowing visitors to travel between SKYCITY and the Hong Kong Port of the HZMB in just three minutes each way. With a maximum of 16 passengers per vehicle, the entire autonomous system will be able to carry 500 passengers per hour in each direction at launch, making HKIA the world’s first and only airport to put autonomous vehicles into large-scale live airport operations.   In the future, the autonomous transportation system is expected to transport 2,000 passengers per hour in each direction, with plans to extend its services to the nearby town centre of Tung Chung. Autonomous technology holds immense potential in connecting people, places and opportunities, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of its development. Stay tuned for more updates! #hongkongairport #hkairport #hkg #airports #aviation #HKIAtechnology #technology #AirportcityLink

The much-loved Airport Authority (AA) Family Airport Visit has finally made a return after 4 years of hiatus! As the yearly tradition resumed, over 130 AA #staff and #family members were quick to hop on the chance to tour the exclusive #airport areas closed to the public — these areas, including the Integrated Airport Centre, Fault Response Team, and apron area etc., are fully in live operation during the visit, giving participants the most authentic behind-the-scenes airport experience. #hkia #hongkongairport #hkairport #hkg #airports #aviation #HKIAculture #wellness #companyculture #staffactivities

Ocean #trash is a serious #marine issue that affects the health of people, wildlife and the local economy. Our conservation effort often involves cutting-edge technology and long-term infrastructure — but sometimes, we just have to put the gloves on and get down to work. Last weekend, the Airport Authority (AA) family assembled at Tai Long Wan, Lantau, for the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) Hong Kong, organised by the Green Council to relieve the local marine debris issue and induce behavioural change amongst our community. The ICC is a #global event initiated by the Ocean Conservancy since 1986 to engage the community to collect and document the trash from beaches and waterways all around the world. To that end, we’re glad to have contributed to this meaningful cause. Over 30 of our staff and their family members put on an exemplary display of dedication to protecting our environment by collecting a total of 170kg of trash, and made a visible #impact for the local community and #environment. #hkia #hongkongairport #hkairport #hkg #airports #aviation #HKIAculture #wellness #companyculture #staffactivities #conservation #esg #HKIAesg

In commemoration of the various milestones of the Three-runway System (#3RS) project, two mixing blades and a drill bit employed in the #construction of the project have been installed as permanent #exhibits in the HKIA Historical Garden. The mixing blades were a part of the Deep Cement Mixing (#DCM) rig used in the non-dredge ground improvement method for the 650-hectare 3RS land reclamation project; the drill bit was used throughout the whole reaming process of the environmentally friendly horizontal directional drilling (#HDD) method, employed to install two 5.2-kilometre aviation fuel pipelines while avoiding any disturbance to the marine ecosystem, setting the world record for the world’s longest pipeline installation using HDD on the way. These three pieces of HKIA history are now set in stone, celebrated for their monumental role in enabling our construction team to complete engineering wonders. In addition, the garden has been enhanced with two new #runway displays featuring the numbers "07" and "25", an homage to the compass bearings corresponding to the new runway's direction. #hkia #hongkongairport #hkairport #hkg #airports #aviation #HKIAHistoricalGarden
