The Hong Kong International Airport's three-runway system is expected to be operational on November 28, 2024, at which point it will handle 120 million passengers and 10 million tons of cargo annually. Hong Kong's Acting Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, stated that the three-runway system will enhance Hong Kong's status as an aviation hub and expand its air network, particularly in cooperation with countries along the "Belt and Road" initiative. In addition, Cathay Pacific plans to invest over HKD 100 billion in the next seven years to enhance passenger experience. The Hong Kong Airport Authority will also phase in the operation of the expanded Terminal 2 by the end of 2025
