AAHK Extends Relief Package to November to Support Airport Community

(HONG KONG, 29 September 2022, 1700hrs) – Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) continues to support the airport community by extending its relief package for two months to the end of November 2022, in view of the prolonged impact to the aviation industry brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Various fee waiver or concession policies supporting the industry will continue from October to November 2022, including full waiver of parking charges for idle passenger aircraft and airbridge fees; reduction of passenger aircraft landing charges; fee reduction related to ramp handling, maintenance and airside vehicles; as well as rental reduction for terminal tenants covering lounges and offices; fees wavier for terminal licencees including commercial services counters and cross-border transport operators; and concessions on fees for aviation support services such as into-plane fuelling, aircraft maintenance and inflight catering services.

Base rent for tenants in the terminal that are open for business continues to be waived as part of the relief package. Meanwhile, rental is waived for retail and catering tenants that have suspended business.

As the Government eases quarantine requirements for inbound travellers, AAHK will review the relief measures taking into account the business environment.

Currently, about 40 shops and restaurants in the terminal are providing service and more are expected to re-open to meet the demand from the increase in passenger traffic after further relaxation of quarantine requirements.
