The Midfield Development Phase Two which provided a taxiway and 10 remote parking stands, including three being capable of accommodating Code F aircraft, was completed in November 2018. To cater for the continuous traffic growth, AAHK continued to ensure that the development of the Midfield Area of HKIA proceeded as scheduled. To ensure aviation safety and minimal extent of disruption that may be brought to normal airfield operations, the division closely monitored the progress, conducted inspections and provided comments and recommendations for AAHK from time to time on these works. Moreover, AAHK continued with the construction of the elevated passenger corridor connecting Terminal 1 and North Satellite Concourse. First phase of the replacement works started in March 2019 and the entire project to replace the signs was targeted for completion by end 2020. Besides, AAHK planned to replace the fluorescent lighting boxes of the Movement Area Guidance Signs by LED lighting boxes in phases. This project, started in November 2017, was scheduled for completion in July 2019. One such project was the South Runway resurfacing and rehabilitation.

Several large-scale airfield maintenance projects were undertaken by AAHK during the year.

The division also participated in the franchisee audits carried out by AAHK and monitored investigation of aircraft ground incidents to ensure that effective oversight was duly exercised by AAHK on franchisees' safety performance and appropriate corrective measures had been taken by responsible parties to prevent recurrence.

The division carried out 14 audits and 130 inspections during the year covering both ad-hoc and scheduled airside maintenance works, conditions of airfield pavements, visual aids, other facilities required for aircraft operations, implementation of the Safety Management System, emergency planning, airport rescue and fire fighting services, aircraft ground operations provided by AAHK and its ground handling agents, as well as airfield expansion projects. APSD continued to exercise safety oversight on the performance of AAHK to ensure its compliance with the aerodrome licensing requirements. The Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) is granted an aerodrome licence by the CAD to operate HKIA. The division also facilitates the development of heliports, monitors the safety and security of heliport operations, develops and implements noise mitigating measures, assesses and monitors the development of the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) expansion including the Three-Runway System (3RS), and assumes the role in coordinating airport facilitation. The Airport Standards Division (APSD) is responsible for the regulatory functions in respect of airport safety, aviation security, control of obstructions, and safe transport of dangerous goods by air.
