WAAAHHH!! I'm so happy that the potential layout of the new runway includes a new terminal, the X shaped terminal is back; it looks like it will not be a separate terminal though i.e. terminal 3. But instead it's going to be connected with a people mover. With this layout HKIA is definitely reaching towards the top.

I know that the 3rd runway is still not approved but looking at this layout just makes me happy
