Kai Tak Hong Kong Flying Club Heliport

The closure was a direct consequence of the strategic relocation of Hong Kong's main airport. The Kai Tak Airport facility, including this heliport, was shut down to allow for the opening of the new, much larger Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok. The primary reasons for the move were to handle increasing air traffic, eliminate the notoriously difficult and dangerous aircraft approach over dense urban areas, and to free up the prime real estate of the Kowloon peninsula for massive urban redevelopment.

The site of the former heliport and the entire Kai Tak runway has been completely redeveloped. The coordinates 22.32463, 114.19064 place the location directly within the modern Kai Tak Runway Park, a large public waterfront park built on the former runway strip. The area is now a major recreational and commercial hub, featuring the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, public green spaces, cycling paths, and ongoing residential and commercial construction as part of the Kai Tak Development plan. There are no physical remnants of the heliport.

The Kai Tak Hong Kong Flying Club Heliport was the primary base for the helicopter division of the Hong Kong Flying Club. Its main operations included helicopter flight training for private and professional licenses, recreational flying for club members, and private charter services. While the main airport's runway is legendary, this heliport was a vital component of Hong Kong's general aviation ecosystem, providing the necessary infrastructure for private helicopter activities in a city with extremely limited airspace and land for such purposes. It operated within the unique and challenging environment of the Kai Tak Airport Control Zone.

There are zero prospects for reopening this heliport. The land has been permanently and irreversibly repurposed for public, commercial, and residential use. The entire area's master plan is focused on urban development and recreation, making the reintroduction of an aviation facility physically impossible and contrary to all planning objectives. The Hong Kong Flying Club has long since relocated its operations to other airfields in Hong Kong, primarily Shek Kong Airfield.
