    Having an extra runway & terminal might solve the problems of slot & parking bay availability and handle more passengers. But that doesn't solve the congestion of the airspace at all, if not worsens it. Considering how small the HK's airspace is and how close it is to other airports in Macau and Mainland China, that makes me wonder how they are going to change the approach & departure paths (as the Mainland China airspace is controlled by PLA & they are definitely not going to hand over the control to HK ATC).

    You did not mention how much does this project cost. It 1.8B in USD (Appreciate you mention it on title now)
    As a HongKonger, I strongly disagree with this project although I am a big fan in aviation, the third-runways project is a joke in Hong Kong. In fact, most of the citizens are oppose to it
    First, the damage to the environment were uncountable. The third runways project require a large Reclamation. Near the Reclamation’s area, there are many Chinese white dolphins lives nearby, and the damage to them are unrecoverable.
    Second, there are many of People's livelihood problem that yet to be fix in Hong Kong. For example,Thousand of HongKonger living in Subdivided flat (分間樓宇單位,又稱劏房) and the whole family might only have 70-150 Square meters living area. And this is just tip of the iceberg. How much did this runway cost? It 1.8B in USD! But instead of fixing the social problems, our government rather to build this runway and refusing all the existing problem!
    Yes, it do could bring a possible economic factor to Hong Kong, but how many decade will it takes to just only recover the cost of building it? You guess it, even our government refuse to answer our question.

      @@_Sheep777 When did the 3rd runway project face protest? Not only did the project passed the Environmental impact assessment report, it also gained huge support during the Public consultation exercise, where the project was publicised as widely as possible in many platforms and age groups, and "The Social Sciences Research Centre of the University of Hong Kong (2011) reported that 73% of the respondents to the 24,242 completed questionnaires preferred building the third runway. 80% deemed that decision concerning the adoption and implementation of the Master Plan 2030 should be made promptly." The project would bring huge economic benefits and employment to the people and also widely supported by the economic and industrial sectors. Even members of the democratic party who are anti establishment expressed support for the project.
      Many mitigation measures had also been put in place to minimise negative environmental impacts including a marine park for the dolphins, the claim of the chinese dolphins had also been criticised for having lack of scientific support. "According to a report by the Social Sciences Research Centre of the University of Hong Kong in December 2011, the respondents broadly supported a series of mitigation measures to tackle issues regarding noise, air quality, conservation of dolphins and reclamation."

    Many HKers, myself included, are skeptical about this project. The fact remains that the HK Airport is sharing airspace with Shenzhen and Macau, thus we can only have that many takeoffs and landings every hour. In other words, the existing airport’s capacity is limited by the availability of the overlapping airspace in the Pearl River Delta region. Building an extra runway, or practically a brand new airport isn’t going to resolve the problem.

    This project is not without controversy though.

The Government was not confident in going through legislative scrutiny, notwithstanding an already almost pre-arranged majority in the legislature by default.
