1 Presentation to LSCM Logistics Summit 2014 An Update on the Developments of the Three-Runway System of Hong Kong International Airport 18 September

2 Overview of Hong Kong International Airport Open since : 6 July 1998 Total site area No. of runways Total terminal area Total no. of aircraft stands : 1,255 hectares : Two; 3,800m (L) x 60m (W) each : 750,000 sq m (including T1, T2, North Satellite Concourse and SkyPier) : 127 (86 for passenger flights; 41 for freighters) 2

3 Growth of Air Traffic faster than expected Last year, airport passenger throughput, cargo volume and flight movement saw annual growth of 7.2%, 4.1% and 6.4%, respectively Passenger Traffic millions of passengers 109% 153% millions of tonnes Cargo Air Traffic Traffic Movement 128% thousands

4 Two-runway system will reach maximum handling capacity earlier Comparison between MP2030 aircraft movement forecast against 2013 actual figures Yr 2013 Actual ATM: >370, Capacity of Two Runways

5 Expanding HKIA into a Three-Runway System creates Economic Benefits and Jobs GDP Airport Workforce > 65,000 employees in 2013 Professional Managerial 9% 14% 12% HK$167 BILLION or 4.6% direct + indirect + induced contribution to HK s GDP in 2030 Manual /Low-Skilled Skilled 65% 141,000 direct jobs 199,000 indirect + induced jobs by

6 Statutory Process to be completed within Apr 17 Apr Jun 19 Jul Jun 23 Jul 22 Sept Mid Sept-Mid Oct EIA Final Report to EPD Review by EPD Public Inspection Review by ACE EPD to consider approval of EIA Report Requires 2 months Requires 1 month Requires 2 months ACE Fullcouncil Meeting on 15 Sept 2014 Issue of EP Mid Oct 6

7 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) The EIA Study Brief covers 12 key aspects The Advisory Council on the Environment (ACE) after 60 days review of the EIA Report made a decision on 15 September 2014 Air Sewerage 12 key assessment aspects Noise Waste Hazard to Human Land Water Ecology Fisheries Landscape Cultural Heritage Health 7

8 All 12 EIA aspects assessed and fully complied with the requirements of the EIAO Technical Memorandum and the Study Brief to be "environmentally acceptable Environmental Aspect Construction Phase With Mitigation, where applicable Operation Phase With Mitigation, where applicable Air Quality Acceptable Acceptable Hazards to Human Life Acceptable As low as reasonably practicable Noise Acceptable Acceptable Water Quality Acceptable Acceptable Sewerage and Sewage Treatment N/A Acceptable Waste Management Acceptable Acceptable Land Contamination Acceptable N/A Terrestrial & Marine Ecology Acceptable Acceptable Fisheries Acceptable Acceptable Landscape and Visual Acceptable Acceptable Cultural Heritage Acceptable Acceptable Health N/A Acceptable Over 250 initiatives formulated under the EIA to address the environmental issues 8

9 Mitigation Commitments Aircraft Noise Putting South Runway on standby at night to minimise impact of aircraft noise on North Lantau 9

10 Mitigation Commitments Aircraft Noise Adjust flight paths to avoid populated areas at night East Flow Flight Tracks West Flow Flight Tracks Restricted use from 23:00 to 07:00 Straight-in Tracks 4 and 5 Track 6 Note: Track 6 will be used to the extent practicable at night 10

11 Mitigation Commitments Aircraft Noise Consider implementing incentive/charging scheme to encourage airlines switching to quieter aircraft Examples of latest quieter aircraft 11

12 Mitigation Commitments Air Quality Reduce Emissions By end 2014: Ban the use of APU for all aircraft at frontal stands Now: Around 80% airlines are using fixed ground power and pre-conditioned air systems By end 2017: ALL airside saloon vehicles as electric vehicles Now: 50 electric vehicles (EVs) By end 2018: totally 290 charging stations for EVs and electric ground support equipment Now: 90 charging stations Providing the cleanest diesel and gasoline at the airfield 12

13 Mitigation measures Marine Ecology and Fisheries, and CWD Use of non-dredge methods during land formation Use of non-dredge methods during land formation Substantial efforts (via design / construction planning) to minimise environmental impacts: Reduced reclamation size Use of non-dredge reclamation methods Use of DCM method for ground improvement in CMPs Use of HDD for submarine pipeline diversion 13

14 Mitigation measures Marine Ecology and Fisheries, and CWD Proposed Marine Park to contribute to long term conservation of CWD s in North Lantau waters 14

15 Mitigation measures Marine Ecology and Fisheries, and CWD Manage SkyPier high speed marine traffic Route diversion of SkyPier HSFs in areas with higher CWD abundance Speed limit restricted to 15 knot at CWD hotspots Capping of marine traffic to current level (average daily of 99 trips) 15

16 Mitigation measures Marine Ecology and Fisheries, and CWD Marine Ecology Enhancement Strategy Dry season October to March Marine Ecology Enhancement Strategy To enhance habitats for marine ecology To encourage scientific research and studies To promote environmental education and eco-tourism 16

17 Mitigation measures Marine Ecology and Fisheries, and CWD Other commitments Fisheries Enhancement Strategy to provide funding support to fishermen to better cope with changes to their fishing activities resulting from 3RS project Comprehensive monitoring and audit to ensure full compliance with EIA commitments and recommendations to assess the effectiveness of recommended mitigation measures to identify further need for additional mitigation measures or remedial actions 17

18 Target to Commission 3RS in 2023 Planning Approval Implementation Environmental Impact Assessment studies Associated designs/details Environmental permit Project cost updates and funding options Other statutory requirements Detailed designs/contract documentation Land formation Construction of related facilities Nearly Completed * * *Indicative timeline that is subject to change 18

19 Three-Runway System (3RS) is not just a Runway, it is a Massive Infrastructure Project including Targeted to commission 3RS in 2023, assuming works start in 2016 Third Runway, Third Runway Concourse, apron and related facilities New Automated People Mover & Baggage Handling System Land formation of approximately 650 hectares Expansion of Terminal 2 Areas for Airport Support Facilities 19
