The Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA) is a statutory body with a mandate to maximise the value of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) for the benefit of the territory.

Established in 1995 to operate and maintain HKIA, and with an emphasis on enhancing Hong Kong's status as a major centre of international and regional aviation, the AA is wholly owned by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).

The AA is governed by the Airport Authority Ordinance (Chapter 483, The Laws of Hong Kong) and its Board comprises a Chairman, CEO and between eight to 15 other members. With a management team strengthened by expertise from the commercial sector, AA’s 1,100-strong staff take an entrepreneurial approach to developing HKIA into a preferred regional and international aviation hub and an engine of economic growth for Hong Kong.

With this objective in mind, the AA's business philosophy is to further expand HKIA's global aviation network and provide passengers with more destinations, greater frequency of flights and a wider choice of carriers. Riding on Hong Kong's strategic location and HKIA's world-class facilities, the AA is extending the airport's home market to the Pearl River Delta area and beyond.

The AA remains committed to the highest possible levels of security and safety. It works to continuously raise security standards while minimising delay and inconvenience to passengers.

As a responsible corporate citizen, the AA initiates and takes part in a wide range of programmes and activities that promotes environmentally friendly practices, people development and community betterment.
