SuperTerminal 1, Logistics center at Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong.
SuperTerminal 1 is a cargo handling center at Hong Kong International Airport on Chek Lap Kok island. The facility includes warehouses, processing areas, and automated sorting systems for moving goods.
The facility opened in 1998 when the airport moved from the old Kai Tak site to the new island location. The building was designed by architect Norman Foster and aimed to establish Hong Kong as a modern air cargo hub.
The facility shows Hong Kong's role in global trade networks. Visitors see modern warehouses and cargo halls where packages and freight from many countries arrive and depart daily.
The site is open to visitors with aviation interests, though advance arrangements are usually needed as it is an active cargo handling operation. The best time to visit is during business hours when the facility is in full operation.
The facility also processes cargo from South China through special interchange systems connecting air traffic with ground transport. This makes it an important hub for goods switching between aircraft and trucks.
