HKHong Kong International Airport (HKIA) reported a 16.8 percent decrease in net profit to HK$2 billion for the 2025-26 financial year, attributed to increased expenses related to the third runway's operations and a previous aircraft salvage operation. Despite this, revenue rose 11 percent year-on-year to HK$18 billion. Passenger traffic, aircraft movements, cargo, and airmail volumes all experienced growth between 2.7 percent and 14.7 percent, though geopolitical trade tensions persisted. The airport's leadership highlighted the completion of the three-runway system in November 2024 and progress on expanding Terminal 2 and the Skytopia project as signs of entering a new developmental phase.
