Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) awarded two consultancy contracts to Aecom to provide initial scheme and scheme design services for the new Intermodal Transfer Terminal (ITT) and the Passenger Terminal 2 (T2) Expansion project at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), forming part of the strategic expansion program of the HKIA until 2030.
     The new ITT will expand the existing Skypier development and link the new facility to the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities (HKBCF).  The new terminal will encompass check-in facilities, an automated people mover and baggage handling system, a secure bonded road to HKBCF and modifications to Terminal 1.
     In addition, the T2 Expansion project will reconfigure the existing facilities to accommodate both arrivals and departures processing facilities. The project will include a new meet-and-greet area, a new baggage reclaim hall, expanded security and immigration facilities and additional check-in islands.
     Mr Eric Ma, AECOM's executive vice president, transportation, pan-Asia said, "One of the biggest challenges for the design teams of these two projects is to prepare a design solution that will allow normal airport operations while the new facilities are being constructed. We will communicate closely with all stakeholders and pay extra attention to the requirements of various departments, airlines, operators and agents, given the congested nature of the development area."
