The ICAO designator HK-0002 and the name 'Heli-Tours Helipad' are considered obsolete and are no longer in official use. Unofficial aviation databases suggest this designator was deprecated sometime in the early 2010s. However, the physical helipad at this location never closed and has been in continuous operation since its inauguration.
The 'closure' was administrative, not physical. The ICAO code HK-0002 was likely a temporary or unofficial designator that was either superseded or removed from public records as Hong Kong's Civil Aviation Department (CAD) updated its registry of private helipads. The name 'Heli-Tours Helipad' was replaced by the official name, 'The Peninsula Hong Kong Helipad'. The facility itself never ceased operations for economic, safety, or other reasons.
The site is the fully operational twin helipad on the 30th floor of The Peninsula Hong Kong hotel. It is one of the busiest private helipads in Hong Kong, used daily for commercial operations. Services include sightseeing flights, aerial photography, and direct, 15-minute transfers for hotel guests to and from Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). The helipad is a key feature of the hotel's luxury service offerings.
The helipad is located on the roof of The Peninsula Hong Kong hotel and was inaugurated in 1994 upon the completion of the Peninsula Tower. It consists of two helipads and is an iconic symbol of luxury in the city. From its inception, it has been operated in partnership with Heliservices (Hong Kong) Ltd. Its primary operations have always been focused on high-end tourism and transport, including: sightseeing tours over Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong's islands (often marketed as 'Heli-Tours'), exclusive 'Fly and Dine' packages, private charters, and VIP airport transfers. It was one of the first hotel rooftop helipads in Hong Kong and has set a standard for luxury hotel amenities in the region.
As the physical helipad facility never closed, there are no plans or prospects for 'reopening'. It remains a premier, active helipad. The obsolete ICAO designator HK-0002 is not expected to be reinstated, as the helipad operates as a private facility under the current regulatory framework.
