Hong Kong Airport Core Programme – World’s newest airport

Hong Kong Airport Core Programme – World’s newest airport

Hong Kong’s brilliant “new” airport, Chek Lap Kok, opened in 1998.  (Well, to many of us, it’s still new.)  Sometime in the mid-1990s, the New Airport Projects Co-ordination Office issued a book of large (4-7/8″ x 8-3/4″) postcards and we received some from that set, all unused, all with perforated top edge.  To continue the series, this card shows “The airport island is four times larger than (the old) Kai Tak airport”.  Grade: 1
