Yes, if we are looking at Hong Kong alone and its benefits then a third runway is a must. Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhu Hai, and even Macau are doing all they can to take away not just passenger but also cargo traffic from Hong Kong. If Hong Kong sits on its hands they will soon be replaced.

People love Hong Kong's hardware, software, and efficiency, let's keep them there.
