Hong Kong Airport Runway Reopens After Fatal Cargo Plane Crash

HONG KONG, October 28, 2025 (The Hindu) – Operations have resumed at the Hong Kong International Airport runway that was the site of a fatal cargo plane crash on October 20th. The incident, which claimed the lives of two airport security personnel, involved a Boeing cargo plane that veered off the runway during landing, striking a security patrol vehicle and ending up in the sea.

The salvage operation concluded late Monday, allowing the affected runway to reopen at 7 a.m. local time on Tuesday, October 28th. According to Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee, the airport is now “running as usual” with over 20 flights having already utilized the reopened runway.

The incident is the city’s deadliest air accident since 1998. Authorities have launched a full investigation into the crash, focusing on crew qualifications, flight operations, and maintenance records. The plane’s black box flight recorders have been recovered, and a preliminary report is expected within a month.

The crew of the ACT Airlines plane, headquartered in Istanbul, remains in Hong Kong. The investigation is being supported by civil aviation accident investigative agencies from the United States and Turkey, as well as experts from Boeing.
