Hong Kong airport to revise late-night use of south runway over noise complaints


Hong Kong airport will revise late-night use of its south runway following noise complaints from Tuen Mun residents struggling to sleep when cargo aircraft pass overhead.

The Airport Authority confirmed the measure late on Thursday, hours after a lawmaker revealed its plan to address the complaints that a flight path over Tuen Mun’s Siu Lam and So Kwun Wat neighbourhoods had caused significant noise pollution.
