A new chapter for aviation in Hong Kong
Hong Kong International Airport has long maintained its reputation as one of the world’s most efficiently managed and designed aviation hubs. Benoy was pointed by Hong Kong Airport Authority to enhance the passenger experience across three interior areas, while avoiding disruption to ongoing operations.
Three areas of enhancement
The Terminal 1 Annex expanded the landside offer with a new M&G Hall, additional check-in facilities and baggage claim belts. The East Hall Expansion extended the airside zone to include a dynamic play area and a landscaped viewing deck. The Departures Kerb was widened with expanded kerbside drop-off and new canopies.
Enhancing the passenger experience
The design builds on the existing architectural language to deliver a more vibrant and fluid passenger experience, upgrading aesthetics and functionality in equal measure. Benoy’s retail planning expertise informed the commercial strategy for the East Hall, increasing F&B and retail capacity in the expanded departure and arrival areas. The airport serves 58.5 million passengers annually and operates 280 retail outlets across the terminal.
