A passenger plane makes its way to the airport terminal after landing at Hong Kong's Kai Tak airport, as the commercial Central district is shown on Hong Kong island in the background. From the first recorded flight from Kai Tak on Lunar New Year's Day in 1925 to witnessing the development of the territory for decades, the airport is expected to close July 5 to be replaced by the new US$20 billion Chek Lap Kok airport.
