HONG KONG: Hong Kong started flight operations on its third runway on Thursday (Nov 28), with officials saying it will keep the city's airport competitive as an aviation hub despite its lagging post-pandemic recovery.
Hong Kong International Airport is still among the busiest airports in the world, but flights are not yet back to pre-Covid levels and it has fallen behind regional rivals like Singapore and South Korea in passenger traffic.
