[6th July 1200Z - 1600Z] Kai Tak Revive

[Kai Ko]

On July 6 1998, Hong Kong’s Kai Tak international airport took its last flight and closed its doors, moving all operations at the airport to the current Hong Kong International Airport. Although it has been 21 years since then, its legacy continues to live on. For example, right here on VATSIM, the Hong Kong vACC continues to keep Kai Tak under the ICAO code VHHX as one of the aiports it controls.

 

Want to re live the thrilling moments of the Kai Tak IGS 13 approach as it flies over the residential buildings in Kowloon city? Well come join the HKVACC as we celebrate the 21st anniversary of Kai Tak’s closure with an event on July 6th 2019 from 1200Z – 1600Z, as we provide full ATC service!

We discourage flying into the current Hong Kong international airport (VHHH) as it will cause conflicts with the heavy traffic we are expecting. And also the airports weren't built the coexist in real life.

 

Runway 13 will be in use, however if the winds are too poor for 13 we will change it upon notice. If you wish to land on runway 31 expect major delays.

Hi,

Is there anyway we could make amendments to the events page?

If so I have made the amendments in the original post up top. If you could help us update the page that'd be great!

Thanks,

Kai Ko
