MULTI-STOREY CAR PARK FOR AIRPORT
Improvements To Other Facilities Planned
A new multi-storey car park capable of accommodating 1,600 cars
will play an important role in the current expansion and future development
of Hong Kong International Airport.
The increasing air traffic has led to a bigger demand for parking
facilities at the airport.
"This is specially so with the opening of the cross-harbour
tunnel and the increased number of chartered flights to the United Kingdom,"
a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Department said.
"More people are bringing their cars to the airport to see their
friends off or to meet them," he added.
The existing open-air park in front of the airport terminal building
provides space for only about 350 cars while the new one can accommodate
more than four times that number.
Phase 2 of the Kai Tak Terminal Building Modifications Stage IV
project provides for the construction of a "vehicular deck" at the first
floor level above the existing car park. This deck will then be surmounted
by the whole multi-storey car park.
The construction of the new car park will be divided into two stages.
The first half, providing 800 parking spaces, is to be completed during
Phase 2 while the other half will be constructed during Phase 3.
