South apron, helipads and inlet taxiways
Stands 71 to 81, two helipads, taxiway bridges over the water inlet, fuel tanks by the terminal and bitumen at the hangars.
Kai Tak's south side is built: the south apron with stands 71 to 81, two helipads, taxiways that cross the water inlet on concrete bridge decks, fuel tanks beside the terminal, and bitumen on the maintenance apron.
South apron and helipads
- Stands 71 to 81 along taxiway B4, with red stand boxes, number plates and a lead-in line to each stop bar
- Aircraft parked nose to the taxiway on most stands
- Two helipads with a white H, and a flight services building beside them
Taxiways over the water
The inlet that runs beside the runway is crossed by two link taxiways, A7 and A9 on the 1996 chart, each on a concrete deck with low parapets and piers into the water. Aircraft can taxi on the decks and the apron.
Fuel tanks and maintenance apron
The nine fuel tanks now stand between the passenger terminal and the maintenance hangars, as in the model and aerial photos. The flight apron round the hangars, bays and stripped aircraft is dark bitumen with a yellow edge line.
啟德南面起好咗：有71至81號機位嘅南停機坪、兩個直升機坪、橫過海灣嘅混凝土橋面滑行道、客運大樓旁邊嘅油缸，同維修停機坪嘅瀝青路面。
南停機坪同直升機坪
- 沿B4滑行道有71至81號機位，有紅色機位框、號碼牌同通往停止線嘅引導線
- 大部分機位停咗飛機，機頭向住滑行道
- 兩個有白色H字嘅直升機坪，旁邊有飛行服務大樓
橫過海水嘅滑行道
跑道旁邊嘅海灣有兩條連接滑行道橫過，即1996年圖表上嘅A7同A9，各自喺混凝土橋面上，有矮護欄同打落海嘅橋墩。飛機可以喺橋面同停機坪上滑行。
油缸同維修停機坪
九個油缸而家企喺客運大樓同維修機庫之間，同模型同航拍相一樣。機庫、機位同拆機區周圍嘅停機坪係深色瀝青，加黃色邊線。
