Should be Kowloon City Road with the entrance of the Airport (today Kai Tak) Tunnel. Photo likely from the mid to end 1980s

Almost the same view from 2011:

Yes, it is Kowloon City Road.

The aircraft in the photo was a Cathay Pacific B747-267B, registration B-HIB showing the Spirit of Hong Kong 97 livery. A 'Classic' photo for the then approaching Hong Kong handover in 1997. The photo was taken between 1997-98 prior to the closure of Kai Tak Airport. Aircraft spotting websites may be able to provide the exact date of the photograph.
