Kai Tak Airport was the international airport of
Hong Kong from 1925 until 1998. It was officially known as
Hong Kong International Airport from 1954 to 6 July 1998, when it was closed and replaced by the new
Hong Kong International Airport at
Chek Lap Kok, to the west. It is often known as
Hong Kong International Airport, Kai Tak, or simply
Kai Tak, to distinguish it from its successor which is often referred to as Chek Lap Kok Airport. In 2013, the
Kai Tak Cruise Terminal was opened on the site of the former airport's runway.
