The airport becomes a part of a city landscape
WKT Airport will serve the passengers who have arrived both to Hong Kong, and to China thus it's unusual enough to the traditional international airports which are usually being the property of one country.The construction place is on border of the West Kowloon Cultural District, near to Victoria Harbour. The design of a building is completely identical to city structure.


The project height — 45 metres, a building is benched, opening a sort on the Hong Kong sky. The station building becomes as though an amphitheatre, where representation — the city opening on opposite river bank. Arena here — set of the pedestrian paths transformed into the blossoming garden.

On building of the terminal having the form and a kind of a sword, it is spent about 1,7 billion dollars. On expectations, introduction of the new area will allow to increase a volume of passenger traffic to 30 million persons a year — this figure in 2 times more present throughput of the airport.

The airport — now not simply transport station, but also a resort — SPA, fitness-centre, a hairdressing salon, churches of various faiths, beds and, certainly, about 80 shops and restaurants — all it provides comfortable conditions of passengers in case of delay of departures and flights.

Among 19 airlines which now are based in T1, it is possible to notice: US Airways, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines and Spainair.
Them will soon join American Airlines, airline Iberia and Vueling.
Terminal T1 is extremely difficult design from the point of view of logistics and technologies: more than 100,000 passengers will pass through the terminal every day, and more than 15,000 people will work there. Integration of the big communication centre and the centre on rendering of services in the field of communication has rendered a great influence on design of a building.
