According to CAI’s release, the JV aims to tap on Changi Airport’s brand reputation and expertise in airport commercial management to transform HAK into an integrated consumer hub and level up consumer spending.
HAK has a passenger throughput of 24.34 million passengers in 2023, ranking 18th among airports in the Chinese mainland.
“Our collaboration with Hainan Meilan International stems from the shared vision of creating a world-class airport environment that supports both passenger experience and economic development,” says Eugene Gan, chief executive of CAI.
“With China’s growing economic and tourism potential, this partnership also supports Hainan’s goal to become a global tourism and trade centre. By harnessing CAI’s expertise, HAK is poised to attract more international brands, enhance the airport’s infrastructure, and solidify its position as a leader in the region’s travel and trade sectors,” he adds.
