About Hong Kong International Airport

Overview

Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) is a major international airport serving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Located at coordinates 22.308901, 113.915001, the airport sits at an elevation of 28 ft mean sea level. It is a large airport with three parallel runways, each 12,467 feet long, capable of handling significant commercial and cargo traffic.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 28 ft MSL provides relatively stable atmospheric conditions for approach and landing. Being situated near coastal waters, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including sea breezes and occasional low visibility scenarios. The parallel runway configuration allows for efficient operations under various wind conditions.

Notable Features

Hong Kong International Airport features three parallel runways with identical lengths of 12,467 feet, all constructed with asphalt surfaces. The runway configuration (07C/25C, 07L/25R, and 07R/25L) provides multiple approach and departure options. The airport's geographic location near water and surrounded by terrain creates unique atmospheric and navigational challenges for pilots.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will typically depend on prevailing wind directions, with the parallel runway system allowing flexible approach options. The uniform 12,467-foot runway lengths provide consistent landing and takeoff parameters across all three runways. Pilots should be prepared for potential maritime weather influences during approach and departure phases.
