Hong Kong Airlines officially moves into Terminal 2 and unveils renewed brand identity | News
Hong Kong Airlines’ check-in counters at Terminal 1 (T1) of Hong Kong International Airport officially moved to the new Terminal 2 (T2) today. From now on, passengers traveling with Hong Kong Airlines can choose to check-in and drop off their luggage at the counters in Aisle Q or the Self-Service Check-in Zone in Aisle R of T2. After passing through security and immigration checks, passengers will proceed to the Midfield Concourse at T1 to board.
Following the completion of passenger check-in for the last flight departing from T1, Hong Kong Airlines’ ground services team began the move at 4:00 am and successfully completed it in the early morning, allowing passengers on the first flight from T2 to Shanghai Pudong to experience a new check-in process.
To mark this important milestone, management representatives from Hong Kong Airlines and the Airport Authority Hong Kong presided over an inauguration ceremony at the T2 check-in counters and presented commemorative gifts to passengers traveling on the day’s flights.
Mr. Bruce Wang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hong Kong Airlines, said: “As Hong Kong Airlines approaches the important milestone of its 20th anniversary, it is particularly meaningful for us to be the first airline to move into the brand new T2. The expanded terminal, built to support the three-runway system, will effectively divert passenger flow from T1 and increase overall operational capacity to meet the demands of peak seasons and future growth. T2 has a modern and vibrant design, offering a more comfortable and relaxing environment. Combined with the new generation of Smart Check-in facilities, we believe this will provide passengers with a seamless and enjoyable travel experience.”
Chairman Wang also paid special tribute to the staff for their efforts during the move. He noted that the company would deploy sufficient manpower to assist passengers and use social media and mobile apps to explain check-in and boarding procedures, while increasing market awareness of T2 and its related services to ensure passengers are fully aware of the latest arrangements before departure.
Renewed visual brand identity embodies the spirit of the city
To mark this important 20th anniversary, Hong Kong Airlines last week announced the launch of a new visual identity system for the brand, which reflects the company’s evolution across multiple dimensions, including service quality, route network and corporate positioning. Notably, this marks the first update to the tail livery since the company’s founding. The aim is to complete the repaint of four aircraft within this year, with the new design eventually rolled out across the fleet.
The new visual identity system is centered around the design concept ‘The Blossom’, inspired by Hong Kong’s cultural heritage and the Bauhinia flower, which symbolizes the spirit of the city. The design combines traditional heritage with modern innovative elements, aiming to highlight Hong Kong’s unique development trajectory, resilient character and rich cultural vitality. Hong Kong Airlines aims to ensure that its own development reflects the blooming Bauhinia flower, embodies the collective energy and deep-rooted heritage of its team, while reflecting the city’s prosperity, harmony and limitless possibilities. Through this brand refresh, Hong Kong Airlines will present a more vibrant and culturally resonant image that better matches the expectations of today’s travellers.
