Old Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport 1997 Framed Canvas

Old  Kai Tak Airport Hong Kong1997 

Kai Tak International Airport, located in Kowloon's Kai Tak district, opened on January 25, 1925, and operated for 73 years until closing at 1:20 AM on July 6, 1998. On the same day, at 6:27 AM, the new Chek Lap Kok Airport opened. Kai Tak was one of the world's busiest airports, ranking third in passenger volume and first in cargo. Surrounded by dense buildings and limited airspace, it was among the "top ten most dangerous airports." In 1997, due to safety concerns and increasing demand, Hong Kong planned a new airport at Chek Lap Kok. This photo, taken in Kowloon City in June 1997, captures the dense urban area where residents lived with low-flying jets daily.

Our framed canvas is a 38mm stretched canvas within a traditional picture frame. The simple addition of a wooden picture frame creates a completely new form of wall art, quite distinct to a standard canvas. The thin frame sits approximately 5mm from the edge of the canvas helping create a floating border. Highly recommended for photography and images that make a real statement.
