I haven't been to the new HK airport, but Kai Tak had some 'issues' (that being the code word major problems) like cross winds, not big enough, and one of the most exciting approach paths of any commercial airport.

A minor problem with a large plane on a city approach (a flight of ducks from Peking ?) could have result in monumental tradgedy, taking out multiple appartment blocks, in addition to the plane.

It looks like the new HK airport will be a long term, multi-generational asset.

It isn't a bridge to nowhere.

I'm afraid that HK won't make the cut for the stupid government of 2008 awards.
