Analysts are optimistic about Hong Kong’s ability to regain its role as a major aviation hub once coronavirus restrictions are lifted despite Singapore’s Changi Airport forging ahead with a planned expansion, underlining its commitment to capitalise on its leading status in Asia.
Experts pointed to the city’s own airport expansion project, which is scheduled for completion in 2024, while work on Changi’s Terminal 5, which will involve new features for handling future pandemics, will not be finished until the mid-2030s.
