Hong Kong International Airport, Chek Lap Kok Island, Hong Kong

It was on May 31, 2009 when we flew from Hong Kong back to Zurich via Paris with Air France. The plane took off at 10:33 a.m. instead of 10:20 a.m. which was the estimated time of departure from the Hong Kong International Airport.

The Hong Kong International Airport was the central project of the Hong Kong Airport Core Programme which was organized by the Hong Kong government during the 1990s.

Hong Kong International Airport is known as Chek Lap Kok Airport because it was built on the island of Chek Lap Kok which is connected to Tung Chung in Lantau Island by North Lantau Highway on the north and Chek Lap Kok S Road on the south.

Hong Kong International Airport is also called Chek Lap Kok Airport so to distinguish it from the old Kai Tak Airport.

Hong Kong International Airport is one of the international airports that I really like aside from Changi Airport in Singapore, Zurich Airport in Switzerland, and Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands.
