Airport station (MTR)
Airport is a rapid transit station on the  of Hong Kong's MTR system. It serves the Hong Kong International Airport, and is integrated with the passenger terminal. It is also the westernmost railway station in Hong Kong. History 
The station was built at the same time as the new Hong Kong International Airport, constructed on a platform of reclaimed land in order to replace Kai Tak Airport in the urban core. In October 1993, the Airport Authority Hong Kong appointed Ove Arup and Partners to develop the concept design for the new airport's Ground Transportation Centre (GTC), which includes Airport station. Arup, Foster and Partners, and Anthony Ng Architects completed the detailed design of the GTC. Construction began in 1995. The main contractor was Nishimatsu Construction. The station was opened on 6 July 1998 at the same time as the airport, and served as the western terminus station of the line until the opening of the AsiaWorld–Expo station on 20 December 2005. Platform 3 was constructed opposite to platform 1 to enable access to SkyPlaza and Terminal 2. The new platform began operations on 28 February 2007, when the additional check-in facilities opened at Terminal 2. Until Terminal 2 was closed for expansion on 28 November 2019, Airport Express trains stopping at the station opened its two doors simultaneously for both platforms—doors on the left opened for Terminal 1, and doors on the right opened for Terminal 2 and SkyPlaza.
