On 8 May, the Airport Authority (AA) and our major business partners pledged to make our airport the greenest worldwide. It marks a big step forward in our commitment to being green and carries far-reaching implications. It adds on to the list of firsts that Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has earned over the years in the area of environmental protection.
We already have one of the largest fleet of green vehicles among airports worldwide. In 2010, we also set the green benchmark as the first airport worldwide to make an airport-wide pledge to reduce carbon intensity, aiming to cut
carbon emissions by 25% by 2015 from 2008 levels. Now we are confident that we can take the next significant step – to be the
first airport pledging to be the world’s greenest. Some of you may ask: Do you do this to pave the way for developing HKIA into
a three-runway system? My answer is “No”. Whether this airport is to become a three-runway system
would not change our dedication to making this airport as green as possible, which is something we have been doing since the first day of operation at Chek Lap Kok. This probably explains why HKIA is a frontrunner in environmental performance among airports handling similar air traffic volumes, as reflected in the benchmarking studies we have asked third parties to undertake for us.
You may also ask: How are you going to be the greenest?We run and manage most of the facilities on the airport island and see it as our
responsibility to do the utmost to make this happen.On top of our existing efforts, we have rolled out our new roving three-year
environmental plan that centres upon the 3R environmental principle – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, and covers over 120 green initiatives.
For example, we aim to increase the number of electric vehicles (EVs) over the next five years, and ultimately replacing all airside saloon cars with EVs by 2017. Again, HKIA is the first airport in the world to make such a commitment.
Although about 80% of flights operating at HKIA do not use Auxiliary Power Units (APU) of the aircraft for powering its air-conditioning system while on the ground, we plan to impose a total ban on the use of APU for flights operating at HKIA to reduce emissions from aircraft by 2014. We will also increase the daily capacity of treating grey water suitable for irrigation by four-fold to 6,000 cubic metres by the end of this year, and complete the replacement of 100,000 lights with energy efficient LED lights throughout the passenger terminals by 2014.
Meanwhile, we have been enhancing our waste management capabilities to facilitate efficient sorting and recycling of aircraft wastes. We have set a bold target to fully process all recyclable waste at HKIA within the next 10 years.
Our vision in building a greener future for everyone is embedded in our management philosophy and culture. Having been widely recognised as one of the finest airports in the world, we are also committed to being the greenest. We can’t do this without the support and participation of the entire airport community. We are most fortunate to have very helpful and green-conscious business partners and colleagues who share the same vision of making this airport the greenest worldwide.
The Airport Authority (AA) organised the landmark “World’s Greenest Airport Pledging Ceremony” on 8 May to further underscore its commitment towards sustainable development through all areas of Hong Kong International Airport’s (HKIA) operations. During the event, the AA led the airport community on a pledge to take more significant steps to build and operate the greenest airport in the world.
The ceremony was officiated by AA Chairman Dr Marvin Cheung and Secretary for Transport and Housing Eva Cheng, with the participation of a community leader, three green groups, and 40 airport community members, which together operate all major airport buildings, facilities and vehicle fleets.
Dr Marvin Cheung commended the efforts of the airport community and emphasised that the airport will develop its green path based on the three “Rs” – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. “Environmental care is not only one of the airport community’s core values, but a principle we share in our daily operations and future development. Today’s pledge to become the world’s greenest airport marks a big step forward, putting HKIA at the forefront worldwide by providing a delightful airport experience and delivering exemplary environmental performance,” he said.
Speaking at the ceremony, Eva Cheng noted, ”The pledge made today showed the AA’s determination in environmental conservation during the operation and development of the airport. I believe that under the lead of the AA and with the support of the airport community, the airport can become the world’s greenest

airport with maximum environmental efficiency.”
During the ceremony, the AA displayed its fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) (see photo on page 2) that have played an integral role in its carbon reduction drive. It aims to increase the percentage of EVs and replace all airside saloon cars with EVs by 2017. In addition, uniquely showcasing HKIA’s numerous green initiatives was a fascinating sand art performance, regarded as an environmentally friendly way of performing.
The AA also recognised the outstanding achievements of its business partners in reducing carbon emissions by awarding three Most Effective Carbon Reduction Awards. LSG Sky Chefs was acknowledged with a Gold Award, while Gate Gourmet Hong Kong Limited and Asia Airfreight Terminal Company Limited received the Silver and Bronze Awards respectively.

HERE TO SERVE優質顧客服務The annual Customer Service Excellence Programme (CSEP) award presentation ceremony was held on 18 April, celebrating the work and achievements of airport staff in providing quality customer service. Airport Authority (AA) CEO Stanley Hui and Chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board James Tien officiated at the ceremony and presented trophies and certificates to the awardees.
Speaking at the ceremony, Hui offered his congratulations to all the winners for delivering high standards of service at one of the world’s 10 busiest passenger airports. Hui added, “The relentless commitment of all our staff to delivering the highest level of customer service has helped us maintain Hong Kong International Airport’s (HKIA) high quality. It is also a major reason why
HKIA has won more than 50 best airport awards since it commenced operations in 1998.”
The CSEP was launched with an aim to reinforce an airport-wide commitment to customer service excellence at HKIA. This year, over 300 nominations were received and 10 trophies were awarded in the Team and Individual Awards categories. Four organisations including Cathay Pacific Airways, The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, the Airport District of the Hong Kong Police Force and Plaza Premium Lounge were presented with Corporate Awards while a further 100 airport staff received certificates for their achievements.
STRAIGHT TO THE TOPThe AA has been recognised as one of the Top 10 Developers in the recent BCI Asia Awards 2012 for the Midfield development project at HKIA. The BCI Asia Top 10 Awards acknowledge the top developers in regional building and construction in Southeast Asia.
BOLSTERING HONG KONG’S CARGO EFFICIENCYAA CEO Stanley Hui attended the opening of TNT Express’ Hong Kong Regional Hub as an officiating guest on 22 March. TNT Express opened the 7,380 square-metre facility that features the most advanced sorting and security technology, an in-house customs clearance and capable of handling up to 600 tonnes of cargo daily.
The Hong Kong Regional Hub locates at the centre of a highly efficient air and road network, with air links to TNT’s European hub in Liege and the rest of Europe. TNT’s road networks in China and Southeast Asia will also ensure smooth logistical operations in Asia. The hub will further strengthen Hong Kong’s leading position as an international and regional centre for air cargo.
ADDRESSING AVIATION INDUSTRY ISSUESThe AA recently co-hosted the international aviation symposium Cargo Facts Asia with Air Cargo Management Group and Cargo Facts on 17 and 18 April. Cargo Facts Asia brings the world’s aviation community together for networking and strategy discussions across the Asian region.
AA CEO Stanley Hui kicked off the event with an inspiring welcome speech to the delegates. The symposium provided an informative platform for air cargo and freight industry executives to discuss timely issues such as current economic drivers for airfreight and air cargo trends for the Asia Pacific region. Participants also had the chance to meet industry members during the networking sessions.
RISING ABOVE THE RESTHKIA was named “Best Airport in Asia” in a recent poll conducted by FinanceAsia. The financial publication’s Business Travel Poll 2012 covered hotels, airlines and airports across the Asia-Pacific region. The poll surveyed the magazine’s extensive readership of influential executives and frequent business travellers, which commended the airport’s world-class facilities and customer service.

AN EDUCATION IN AVIATIONHKIA continued its dialogue with the academic community, welcoming over 300 students from six Hong Kong secondary schools in April. The students were briefed on the operations and green initiatives at the airport, as well as its future development projects.
HKIA also welcomed 10 undergraduate students from the Science and Innovation Management programme of Utrecht University in The Netherlands on 17 April. The students were introduced to innovative techniques used in the Deep Cement Mixing reclamation method proposed by the AA in the third runway system development project, as well as HKIA’s green initiatives
LESSONS IN LEADERSHIPAirport Authority (AA) CEO Stanley Hui engaged an enthusiastic audience at the Advanced Leadership Enhancement Programme organised by the Civil Service Bureau on 27 March. The attendees listened to Hui’s inspiring stories on overcoming a myriad of challenges and meeting rising public expectations inherent in running a world class airport.
Hui drew on his experience of finding success amidst adversity to exemplify how a visionary leader uplifts an organisation to perform up to the highest standards. Throughout the forum, he highlighted the essential qualities found in effective leaders such as vision, integrity, teamwork and dedication. Hui concluded the session charting the way forward for HKIA, in terms of foreseeable challenges and future goals.
WELCOMING DISTRICT COUNCILLORSCouncillors from Tuen Mun district paid a visit to HKIA on 25 April. AA CEO Stanley Hui welcomed the councillors who listened to an overview and the future developments of HKIA.

DID YOU KNOW?你知道嗎?
Hong Kong may be known as a concrete jungle, but travellers are always amazed by the greenery at HKIA: there are over 700,000 trees and shrubs thriving on the airport island.
at the Midfield development project. In addition, the group made a trip to the Baggage Hall to learn about the use of radio frequency identification in the baggage handling system.
Additionally, the Education Bureau organised a visit for 33 secondary school teachers from the Tourism and Hospitality Studies department on 2 May to enhance their knowledge of the operations and latest developments at HKIA in order to facilitate their teaching.
Meanwhile, C K Ng, Executive Director of Airport Operations recently gave a presentation on “Aspects of Aviation: The Gateway Connecting Hong Kong with the World” at an event organised by the Education Bureau.
CLOSER LOOK AT AIRPORT OPERATIONS The AA recently arranged a visit at HKIA for the Permanent Aviation Fuel Facility Community Liaison Group (PAFF CLG) on 24 April. The PAFF CLG members listened to an overview of the Midfield development project and the three-runway system.

Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is equipped with the Airport Lightning Warning System. An Amber Lightning Warning is issued when lightning is detected within a five-kilometre radius from the airport island and intense radar echo within 15 kilometres from the island, and all non-essential activities in open areas will be suspended. Meanwhile, a Red Lightning Warning is issued when lightning is detected within a one-kilometre domain surrounding the airport island. When the Red Lightning Warning is hoisted, all ramp activities will stop immediately.
SPREADING THE COMMUNITY SPIRITAirport Authority (AA) Staff Club was awarded the “Corporate Volunteer Award” from The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council (NAAC) for its continued efforts and contribution to the community.
Throughout the years, the AA has been actively engaged in community works by organising and participating in neighbourhood charity events. In March, the AA and NAAC co-hosted a successful spring dinner for the elderly living in Tung Chung which was enjoyed enormously by the participants.
RED CARPET FOR BUDDHIST RELIC HKIA welcomed the arrival of the Buddha’s parietal-bone relic in Hong Kong with a solemn religious ceremony held at the apron on 25 April. The relic, the only parietal-bone of the Sakyamuni Buddha in existence, went on display at Hong Kong Coliseum for a 6-day public worship, coinciding with “The Third World Buddhist Forum” held on 26 and 27 April.
This marks the first time the Buddha’s parietal-bone relic has been moved outside mainland China for public worship. Other relics of the Sakyamuni Buddha have only been venerated twice in Hong Kong previously. Throughout the years, HKIA has displayed its full support of significant religious events across all faiths.
PLANTING A GREENER TOMORROWAA staff helped to create a greener future by participating in the Tree-Planting Challenge 2012 on 22 April. With a sponsorship of HK$40,000 from the AA, two teams of participants completed a 13-kilometre hiking course from Tam Lam Country Park, planting 30 seedlings each along the way.
Organised by Friends of the Earth, the theme for this year’s challenge was “Plant a Wish for a Better Climate”. By encouraging interaction with nature, the event aimed to promote a low carbon lifestyle among the participants.
AA LAUNCHES AIR POLLUTION INDEX ON WEBSITEThe real-time air pollution index (API) for different locations on the airport island and Lung Kwu Chau is now shown on the HKIA website. The AA has had three air quality monitoring stations in place at HKIA and Lung Kwu Chau for many years. They were set up to collect air quality data to help analyse the impact of airport emissions on local air quality. The information on the website shows not only the current API levels, but also provides records of API levels over the past 24 hours, as well as showing air pollutant concentration quantities and meteorological statistics.
GOLDEN ACHIEVEMENTHKIA added another green feather to its cap as it was recognised by the Airports Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific in its Green Airports Recognition initiative. The airport received the Distinguished Achievement in Gold award for its outstanding environmental achievements.
The Green Airports Recognition aims to promote environmental best practices to minimise the aviation industry’s impact on the environment and commend the environmental projects of ACI Asia-Pacific airports.

A Russian traveller who
spoke little English approached the
visitor service centre in need of assistance in
travelling to mainland China. Using her tablet’s translation tool, Wandy showed the visitor the way to Hung Hom Station and to Guangzhou. She also did not hesitate to translate English phrases into Chinese to minimise any communication barrier he might experience in mainland China.
Wandy then learnt the visitor would return to Hong Kong. She provided information on accommodation and suggested Russian-language publications for sightseeing, shopping and dining. Wandy went a step further by accompanying the traveller to the Plaza Premium Lounge counter to secure a place to rest at HKIA before flying back to Russia.
Wandy believes that to serve customers
effectively, you have to put yourself in the customers’ shoes, think from their point of view and fully understand their needs. In doing so, customer service has changed Wandy’s personality and made her a more helpful person, committed to assisting people even beyond her working hours.
Angel exemplified HKIA’s outstanding customer service when a European
couple visited the Pal Zileri boutique with their
five year-old daughter. As the parents were selecting a
leather jacket, the little girl waited while clutching a small rabbit doll with a sad expression on her face. Angel approached the girl to ask what was wrong. “My rabbit is hurt”, the girl said, fetching the rabbit’s tail from her pocket.
Realising the rabbit doll was very important to the girl, Angel offered to patch up the tail. While Angel was sewing, she also discovered one of the rabbit eyes was missing while the other had nearly fallen off. To surprise the girl even more, Angel made every effort to replace the eyes with buttons from the store.
The parents were impressed with Angel’s initiative and passion to go above and beyond her duties to meet the customers’ needs, even before a sales transaction was made. An extra step, no matter how small, can really make a big difference.
During a busy evening at the airport, a Japanese passenger approached Chan Ka Yu indicating he would like to sign up for the Immigration Department’s Frequent Visitor e-Channel. However, the enrolment booth had already closed.
To provide quality customer service and enable the passenger to enjoy a more convenient immigration clearance experience, Ka Yu explained the situation and enrolment requirements in detail. He then went beyond the scope of his duties and led the passenger to the enrolment booth, restarting the system to help the passenger complete the required enrolment procedure.

Phoenix was assigned to assist a group of misconnected passengers at the arrival gate. She was informed that some of the passengers were disgruntled, requesting for compensation on the spot.
Phoenix knew that the group of passengers, most of them elderly, had not received any food or drink on the aircraft. She took the initiative to list down what
they wanted to eat individually and swiftly returned with their food and drinks. Her actions gradually calmed down the passengers.
Phoenix then made the necessary flight and accommodation arrangements, and her positive working attitude helped turn angry faces into smiles. “There are lots of ad-hoc and emergency incidents at the airport, along with a wide range of problems raised by passengers from all over the world. It has been a tremendous training experience for me as I have learned how to turn a problematic situation around in a short period of time,” she explains.
miss his British Airways flight to London. While panicking about what to do, he bumped into Adrian who had just finished work. After being briefed on the passenger’s situation, Adrian immediately contacted the help desk to check flight information without hesitation. He then accompanied the passenger to Cathay Pacific’s flight desk to talk to the responsible agent. In just a short while, Adrian handed the passenger a new boarding pass for a later Cathay Pacific flight, saving the passenger from staying overnight at the airport.
Adrian went above and beyond his responsibilities to resolve the passenger’s problem, even sacrificing his leisure time to help. It not only showed his outstanding commitment and heart for empathy in serving airport passengers, but also demonstrated the close cooperation between different airlines and their aim to provide the best service for all passengers.

LIGHTS OUT FOR EARTH HOUR 2012The Airport Authority (AA) supported Earth Hour 2012 by switching off all non-essential lighting from 8:30pm to 9:30pm at the HKIA Tower, the Airport World Trade Centre, and the façade lights at Terminal 2 on 31 March. It also encouraged its staff to extend this electricity-saving mindset further by applying the same principle at home.
Launched by the WWF in 2005, the Earth Hour campaign was initiated to raise awareness on the importance of saving electricity for a sustainable future.
Emphasising the importance of climate change and carbon management in the environment, the AA organised a series of carbon training workshops for staff of the airport community to enhance their knowledge on these environmental issues on 26 March.
Leading Hong Kong experts shared informative presentations to over 70 attendees, covering climate change’s impact on the aviation sector and carbon audit procedures. They also provided practical carbon reduction measures in both the work and home environment. Furthermore, carbon management case studies on Hong Kong International Airport’s (HKIA) approach and those of other international airports were examined by the participants.
