AsiaWorld–Expo is the western terminus of the Template:Lnl of the Hong Kong MTR. It serves the AsiaWorld–Expo in the northeast corner of Chek Lap Kok, the island on which the Hong Kong International Airport is located.
The AsiaWorld–Expo is an exhibition centre designed to host largescale events located adjacent to Hong Kong International Airport. The Airport Express was extended with a new station at AsiaWorld–Expo to accommodate visitors and organisers.[1]
History
Tracks were already laid to the site of the AsiaWorld–Expo station when Airport Express inaugurated on 6 July 1998, trains had to terminate at Airport but they were originally used as a turn back siding before the station was built. The station opened on 20 December 2005 together with the exhibition centre, allowing it to be accessible by rail from the central business district and other MTR stations.[1]

Like the other stations on the Airport Express, AsiaWorld–Expo contains platform screen doors. However, the screen doors at this station are different from other stations of the Airport Express (except the now closed Terminal 2 platforms of Airport station), as they are designed for the trains of Tung Chung line as well, so those trains can also be used to run services from and to the station in order to increase passenger flow when large exhibitions or concerts are being held.
