AFA Press Release, 30 December 2011
For the past 25 years Aerospace Forum Asia has been the region's leading advocate, promoting government, industry, media and public appreciation of the aerospace industry as a vital enabler of global, sustainable economic growth.
The Forum wishes to congratulate the Airport Authority Hong Kong on the energy, professionalism and diligence with which it has carried out the consultation process on its Master Plan 2030. In particular we are proud to have hosted the "Our Airport, Our Future, Final Call" Symposium on 2 September (the last day of the public consultation exercise) and thus play an important role in stimulating informed, balanced and open discussion of the options for future development of the HKIA.
The results of the consultation, which overwhelmingly favour construction of a third runway at the Hong Kong International Airport as soon as possible, show that the Hong Kong community has an excellent understanding of the importance of the Airport in supporting international trade, tourism and economic growth in Hong Kong, South China and the wider Asian Region.
We wholly endorse the recommendation which the Authority's Board has made to the Hong Kong SAR Government, to proceed with urgency towards a full environmental impact assessment of constructing a third runway at HKIA and we look forward to continuing to support the Authority in this important endeavour.
Elizabeth Bosher - Director-General, AFA
