  • Hong Kong MFT (Macau Ferry Terminal) Heliport - A Brief History

    The HKMFT was built in 1986. The roof-top helipad was supported on four hydraulic lifts that lowers the helipad 3.85 metres during typhoons.

    * The fleet was upgraded to the twin-engine, 12-seat Sikorsky S76C+ in 1998 and the helipad was enlarged to accommodate the larger aircraft.
