As stated in the term sheet, AAHK will now call Asian, European and US investors to evaluate the demand for the deal.

One of the projected tranches includes a five-year green bond.

This bond will be allotted under the authority’s recently created Sustainable Finance Framework.

Last year, AAHK recorded a loss of $564.21m (HK$4.4bn) for the 2020/2021 financial year that ended in March as the pandemic hammered travel demand.

In December 2021, AAHK revealed its plan to reach Net-Zero Carbon status at HKIA by 2050.

To achieve its goal, the authority aims to reduce direct emissions at the airport and indirect emissions from gas and electricity consumption.
