Hong Kong’s policy goal for the aviation sector is clearly defined in the Basic Law (Article 128) as being ‘a centre of international and regional aviation.’ In February 2019, the Central Government’s Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (“GBA”) re-emphasized Hong Kong’s status as an international aviation hub. In February 2022, Beijing rolled out a series of specific measures to deepen the integration of the GBA by encouraging more cross-border development in selected sectors including aviation. With the overarching goal of ‘relaxing access restrictions in the aviation sector’, these measures include various efforts toward operational coordination as well as regulatory changes. In this seminar, Prof. Jae Woon LEE, CUHK LAW’s resident authority on aviation law, will introduce the new measures related to aviation and discuss upcoming aviation law issues in the GBA.
*CPD credits are available upon application and subject to accreditation by the Law Society of Hong Kong (currently pending).
