Each country has different security standards for coming and connecting passengers. Every year, millions of passengers take connecting flights through airports worldwide. However, frequent flyers may have noticed that you might face another check at some airports not at others. Here’s a look at why this is.
After two years of next to no passengers and airline traffic, Hong Kong Airport may never recover its position as an international aviation hub.
At this time of year, a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to New York is genuinely an around-the-world odyssey, with the Airbus A350 crossing both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
In 2019, Hong Kong International Airport handled 71.5 million passengers and 419,730 flight activities. HKIA was a bona fide global aviation hub and, for many passengers, their jumping-off point into Asia.
Covid-19 has tested the mettle of all aircraft lessors and it will be some period before rescue emerges, mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, where pandemic-related closures have often been political in nature.
