AAHK will continue to provide fee waivers, which include a full waiver of parking fees for idle passenger aircraft and airbridge charges.
It will also reduce passenger aircraft landing fees, as well as fees associated with maintenance, airside vehicles and ramp handling.
Furthermore, AAHK will offer a reduction in rents to terminal tenants, covering lounges and offices.
The fee waiver will be provided to terminal licensees, including ancillary passenger services, commercial services counters and cross-border transport operators.

In a statement, AAHK said: “The continuing relief package also includes the rental relief for retail and catering tenants. Most of the shops and restaurants in the terminal have suspended business and their rental is waived.
“The base rent is also waived for those that remain open to provide essential services. The relief measures will be adjusted to respond to the changing circumstances accordingly.”
In January, Reuters reported that AAHK would raise up to $4bn in a multi-tranche dollar bond offering.
A total of 22 banks, including JPMorgan, HSBC and UBS, have been mandated for the US dollar-denominated multi-tranche bond issuance.
