Third Runway Yes, Its Price Tag No
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011Hong Kong needs a third runway and everyone can agree that it can help the economy. The price tag of HK$ 130+ billion for building it is just insane. Frankfurt airport managed to build a runway recently and it cost them HK$ 10 billion all in - why should it take us 13x that amount. Frankfurt has a minimum wage level that is higher than Hong Kong.
I think the government should offer a break down for that HK$ 136 billion before we should even consider this option further.
