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.
