In 2023, HKIA received the prestigious title of “International Airport of the Year” at the Sky Choice Travel Awards organized by CAAC Inflight Magazine, the official inflight publication of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). These awards recognize excellence in the aviation, hotel, and travel industries, highlighting leaders and innovators who are driving post-pandemic economic recovery through industry development, innovation, quality service, and customer experience. Winners are selected through online voting, combined with assessments from an expert jury panel and the magazine’s editorial team.
