Hong Kong International Airport is set to open the passenger departure facilities at its upgraded Terminal 2 on May 27, with 15 airlines moving their check-in counters there in phases, according to Airport Authority Hong Kong. The relocation will be completed on June 10, ahead of the peak summer travel period.
The airlines involved are mainly regional carriers, including HK Express Airways, Hong Kong Airlines and Greater Bay Airlines. The phased transfer will shift check-in operations from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 as the new departure area begins handling passengers.
The reopened terminal is expected to add capacity for regional travel and handle a significant share of short-haul traffic. Airport Authority Hong Kong said T2 will be accessible by multiple public transport options.
