Airport HQ to take off

An Amec-led joint venture with Kumagai Guma has been awarded a £60 million contract to build a corporate headquarters for Dragonair and the China National Aviation Corporation at Hong Kong's new airport.

The 32,500m2 project will be constructed on the airport's eastern headland and will comprise two five-storey office blocks - one for Dragonair and one for CNAC. The two companies will share a common atrium, car park and recreational facilities. A separate three-storey crew training block will include the airline's first flight simulator.
