Quando Kai Tak foi permanentemente fechado para o serviço de carga?

Kai Tak Airport em Hong Kong, foi fechado para o serviço de passageiros e de carga no início da manhã do 6 em julho, com todos os voos para o novo aeroporto de Chek Lap Kok. No entanto, pouco depois, Kai Tak foi temporariamente reativado para o serviço de carga (citando Wikipedia; enfase adicionada):

Government reports later revealed that Chek Lap Kok airport was not completely ready to be opened to the public despite trial runs held. Water supply and sewers were not installed completely. Telephones were installed, but the lines were not connected. The baggage system did not undergo extensive troubleshooting and passenger baggage as well as cargo, much of which was perishable, were lost. The government decided to temporarily reactivate Kai Tak's cargo terminal to minimise the damage caused by a software bug in the new airport's cargo handling system. During this period, the airport was given temporary ICAO code VHHX.

O artigo não menciona quanto tempo esse arranjo durou.

O terminal de carga foi fechado definitivamente no 24 de agosto de 1998.

Air cargo handling was more seriously affected by problems with the automated handling system at the new 'Super Terminal 1' operated by Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Ltd (HACTL). This forced HACTL to re-open its air cargo facility at Kai Tak until the new terminal at Chek Lap Kok - one of the world's biggest - was running smoothly. By August 24, all incoming and outgoing air cargo was being handled at HACTL's new Super Terminal 1.
