This is deemed the 'official' spotting point at HKIA. It is located just about a few hundred meters south of the RWY 25R landing path, and the deck itself is on top of a building which is about 30 - 40 meters high. Planes landing on both RWY 25R and RWY 25L can be viewed from here, as can some apron movements. There is no fence or glass in front of you and it is just simply a 'building roof' overlooking the airport. Note that the viewing area has no roof-top and also no facilities; for instance toilet, food kiosk or vending machine. Visitors need to go downstairs back to Terminal 2 for drinks, snacks, toilet, etc. | This is deemed the 'official' spotting point at HKIA.

Possible, but limited to those long-haul heavies and planes with high loading. RWY 07L maintenance closure would be finished by approx. 0830 local time, which is before the opening time of the skydeck. | Possible, but limited to those long-haul heavies and planes with high loading.
