From 1925 until 1998, the international airport was the aerial gate for 30 million passengers per year, making it the third busiest airport in the world in terms of international traffic.
The only runway 13-31 was well known among pilots and passengers for its nickname “Kai Tak Heart Attack” approach.
KAITAK was the hub of Cathay Pacific and the base of Dragonair, Air Hong Kong Limited and British Asia Airways.

Things that work:
- Amazing free charts (expect for STARs, there are none for them from Red Wings)
- Static aircraft (shame they aren't removable tho)
- Terminal and other buidings
- GPS waypoints (like MIKE, JULIETT, OSCAR etc.)
Things that could be better:
- Checker Board; it's slightly floating above the ground and its detailedness isn't the best
- taxiway/stand markings
- the northernmost bridge over the Kaitak nullah, it's not for any taxiway, but it'd be better if it wasn't collision free
- SIDs and STARs, I had to install a FREE add-on to dep. and arr. routes not miss any waypoint.
Things that don't work at all and should be fixed instantly:
- The runway. Or rather, the lack of. If you don't have any installed any add-on for VHHX (like Microsoft's), any other than that, forget about landing somewhere else than a taxiway (or water)
- No radio beacons, like, dude. There's no CH, TH VORs. As well as CC, SL, SC, RW and TP NDBs. How can I properly depart without these!??
Hello, the creator of Kai Tak Airport plug-in. I just bought the plug-in of the old airport in Hong Kong and made a flight plan. The airport terminal and other facilities are great, and the billboard facilities around the airport are very detailed, but I only give the evaluation of four stars. Due to the following three small problems: 1. Pink error display appears in some facilities on the far right of the airport terminal building. 2 the corridor bridge of the airport terminal cannot be used. There are many wrong vehicles displayed quickly on the middle apron of the airport. Please receive my feedback in time and look forward to repairing and updating as soon as possible.
Tolles Produkt, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit Flight Control Replay besonders zu empfehlen. VOR, NDB und IGS sind auch entsprechend den Charts vorhanden.
That good old airport looks very good and suits very nice into that MSFS-scenery.
I got no problems with running traffic on the streets. The Concorde standig at Your airport is also very well done.
recommended!
