Revision of car parking fees at Kai Tak Airport
The fees charged for vehicle parking at Hong Kong International Airport at Kai Tak will be increased from April 1, a government spokesman announced today (Thursday).
"The fees were last revised on April 1, 1995. Since then, car parking rates in prime parking locations and the vicinity of the airport have risen.
"The increase in fees is to discourage casual parking by non-airport users and long stay parking at the airport," the spokesman explained.
