Project Sky Bridge

Sky Bridge, the 200-metre-long passenger footbridge on the apron of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is a new iconic landmark. Linking Terminal 1 to the T1 Satellite Concourse, it is the world’s longest footbridge in airport restricted area, rising 28 metres above ground to allow the largest passenger aircraft, Airbus A380, to taxi underneath. Sky Bridge has become a hotspot for passengers to take in the expansive view over the airport, while snapping photos of aircraft moving underneath, through the glass floor panels. Building a giant structure weighing over 5,000 tonnes at one of the busiest airports in the world presented immense challenges to the engineering and operations teams. Airport Authority Hong Kong teamed up with National Geographic to document the making of Sky Bridge, from design to completion.

天際走廊座落於香港國際機場停機坪，連接一號客運大樓與T1衛星客運廊，是機場新地標。天際走廊全長 200 米，為全球最長的機場禁區行人天橋，淨空高度28米，可讓最大型的客機（即 A380 型客機）從橋下通過。在天際走廊上，旅客能夠俯瞰機場壯闊景致，更可從玻璃地板看到飛機在腳下滑行經過。香港國際機場是全球其中一個最繁忙的機場，在機場建造重逾 5 000 噸的龐然結構，對工程及運作團隊來說無疑是極大挑戰。香港機場管理局與國家地理頻道攜手合作，製作了關於天際走廊的紀錄片，從設計至竣工，整個過程重現於觀眾眼前。
