In Beijing, a new $12.9 billion airport due to open in 2019 will turn China's capital into one of the world's biggest aviation hubs. As part of efforts to keep up, Singapore's Changi airport this month unveiled a S$1.3 billion (31.9 billion baht) fourth terminal. Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd and Singapore Airlines Ltd have made their names in the jet era ferrying visitors in and out of the cities and onward. Hong Kong airport last year almost maxed out as it handled 71 million passengers. The Hong Kong Airport Authority did not respond to requests for comment.
