 The International Airports of the Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzen Triangle: Can They All Succeed?
The airport's construction presents major logistical challenges, partly because of the sheer scale of the project, but also because of the relative remoteness of the island, the fact that the project is being built on reclaimed land, and the short time frame allocated for construction.
Thus overall the airport is well positioned to take advantage of the local economic boom, and appears to be approaching the competitive issues with a desire to be a complementary component of the triangle's airport infrastructure, rather than a need to be the most prominent of the region's airports.
In addition, because the airport is brand new and airlines are only just beginning to establish their operations there, cargo airlines wishing to serve the airport or establish a hub there are likely to have greater flexibility in making suitable arrangements than they would have at an established airport.
