Hong Kong International Airport's commitment to delivering a unique airport experience has been recognised with three awards from leading media outlets serving business and leisure travellers and the travel industry.

On 27 November, TravelWeeklyChina cited Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) for offering the best airport facilities at the trade magazine's biannual industry awards. In mid-November, HKIA was named best airport in China in the Business Traveller China Awards 2006. Completing the trio, readers of SmartTravelAsia.com picked HKIA as the best airport worldwide in the online magazine's Best in Travel Poll 2006.

Airport Authority Hong Kong Chief Executive Officer, Dr David J Pang, said he was delighted with the new awards, which follow HKIA winning TTG Asia's best airport award for the fourth consecutive time in October. "This is a testament to the hard work and professionalism of the 60,000 people who comprise the airport workforce. Their passion for exceeding customer expectations creates a memorable, enjoyable experience for travellers and reinforces HKIA's reputation as a regional and international aviation centre.

"It is very gratifying that the quality of our facilities has been recognised again. To maintain our edge, between 2006 and 2010 we are investing HK$4.5 billion in facility and capacity improvements."For more information on the new awards, please see: http://www.travelweeklyweb.com/article.asp?id=18600; http://www.businesstraveller.com/default.asp?Page=3&PUB=67&ISS=22822&SID=665401; http://smarttravelasia.com/travelpoll.htm.
