Hong Kong’s three-runway system will come into operation on November 28, the acting finance chief has announced, urging interested aviation stakeholders to capitalise on the city’s expanded aviation hub.
“The three-runway system will be commissioned later this month on November 28 … This will make Hong Kong an even stronger aviation hub,” acting financial secretary Michael Wong Wai-lun said at the opening of the Super Terminal Expo on Tuesday.
Wong also called on the aviation stakeholders to seize opportunities from the expanded project, promising authorities would offer the help they needed.
“It means Hong Kong will provide you with a lot of business and corporate opportunities. So do not miss it if you have plans to do business,” he said.
“Talk to the Airport Authority, talk to our business community, talk to the Hong Kong government. We will see how to facilitate so that you can realise your dreams.”
Authorities will have to deliver on turning Hong Kong International Airport into a world-class international aviation hub – a vision spelled out in China’s latest five-year national plan.
