On 30 March, Cathay Pacific flight CX8100 flew over the city of Hong Kong at a low altitude in a celebratory event that commemorated the history of Kai Tak Airport, which was the city\u2019s aviation hub before the new Hong Kong International Airport <\/a>(HKIA) opened. This year marks the centennial of Kai Tak Airport\u2019s opening in 1925.<\/p>\n

Recreating Precious Memories from the Last Century<\/h2>\n

Kai Tak Airport was the city\u2019s primary airport before Hong Kong International Airport opened in Chek Lap Kok in 1998. It is located on the Kowloon Peninsula, a very densely populated area.<\/p>\n

Children who grew up in the city would definitely recall their parents or grandparents mentioning the humming noise of planes flying very close to the building\u2019s rooftops.<\/p>\n

Regarded as one of the most dangerous airports in the world, Kai Tak is situated in an area with a very high building density. That is one of the major reasons for the airport relocation in 1998, when Hong Kong became an aviation hub connecting the East Asia Region to other parts of the world.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong: A Continuously Growing Aviation Hub<\/h2>\n

The aviation history of Hong Kong took a major turn when Hong Kong International Airport opened. Since then, Hong Kong has remained a key global aviation hub, with high throughput and passenger headcount.<\/p>\n

The airport is now opening a new chapter in expansion as the three-runway system<\/a> slowly integrates into operation. What could be a better time to commemorate where this small city started 100 years ago, with a flight that will bring back a precious episode for everyone in the city?<\/p>\n
