Filmed in June 98, only weeks before the airport closed, this spectacular video captured the latest aircraft that used Kai Tak, with A330s, A340s, 777s and MD90s featured along with a strong cast of 747s -over 30 of them!

With superb airside locations and shots of the airport from a helicopter, you get to see that unique curved approach from five different viewpoints.
