Make completes first phase expansion of the HKBAC Private Jet Terminal

Make has completed work on the first phase of a HK$400 million+ (approx. £38 million) expansion plan at the Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre. Featuring a groundbreaking new passenger terminal, the state-of-the-art facility is set to redefine luxury travel and business aviation in Asia.

The new extension will facilitate a premium wing-to-wing service for passengers transferring between commercial flights and private jets, and is designed for business leaders, wealthy travellers and delegations who use private aviation. A unique 26-m clear-span Sky Canopy – the first of its kind in Asia – extends from the building to the apron. From there, passengers will have direct access to the new terminal and its luxury amenities, which include VVIP suites, VIP lounges, children’s play areas and private meeting rooms, plus event spaces for external brand collaborations, all with interiors by Make.

These facilities benefit from our expertise in hospitality design, with an emphasis on a seamless customer journey. The layout is spacious, with privacy, comfort and efficiency thoughtfully considered. It has allowed the centre to carefully craft a one-stop process that streamlines customs, immigration and quarantine clearance, enabling a processing time of just three minutes.

With the first phase now complete, the second phase of the expansion will refurbish the existing terminal to cater to chartered flights, pet travel and group tours while also adding office space and event venues for aviation-related businesses. Make’s retention of the existing building has reduced the scheme’s embodied carbon, as have off-site construction techniques like prefabrication and modular design. Operational carbon, meanwhile, is minimised through the cantilevered Sky Canopy, which has minimal points of contact that lessen the impact on the tarmac, as well as PV panels on the existing terminal roof.

Upon full completion in 2026, the new and upgraded facilities will transform the 24,500m² centre into a new landmark within the Airport City, reinforcing Hong Kong’s status and connectivity as a global aviation hub.
