Greening and cleaning

As a supporting organisation, the AA sponsored $50,000 to promote
environmental conservation in Lantau.

About 40 airport staff members and their families and friends spent a meaningful Saturday by planting trees in the "Island District Healthy City Tree Planting Festival – Green Lantau” event in Ngong Ping Lantau on 7 May 2011. As a supporting organisation, the Airport Authority (AA) sponsored $50,000 to promote environmental conservation in Lantau.

Two teams from Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) supported tree planting and carbon reduction efforts on 17 April 2011 by taking part in the Tree Planting Challenge organised by Friends of the Earth at Tai Lam Country Park. The teams hiked 13km, each carrying 50 seedlings – weighing over 30kg – for planting. Overall, the event saw 10,000 trees planted.

Volunteers from the AA took part in the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) 2010 for the third consecutive year on 30 October 2010. They helped collect rubbish and debris littered on the beach at Sha Lo Wan, one of the closest beaches to HKIA.

HKIA joined hands with Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Hong Kong Wetland Park, Ngong Ping 360, the Tung Chung Safe and Healthy City and Islands District Office to clean the Tung Chung Mangrove

To protect our marine environment, HKIA joined hands with Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Hong Kong Wetland Park, Ngong Ping 360, the Tung Chung Safe and Healthy City and Islands District Office to clean the Tung Chung mangroves in June 2009.

HKIA supported the creation of a 12-hectare mangrove habitat in Tai O. About 90,000 mangrove seedlings were planted in 2005 and 2006, increasing the diversity of inter-tidal flora and fauna in the area. We also planted 350,000 seedlings on the hill slopes of Tung Chung hill to welcome passengers with more greenery.
