“Innovation, looking-forward vision, and operation excellence are valuable for building international aviation hub in Hong Kong that connects the world. “

A huge thank you to Ms Cissy Chan (MBA 1983), one of the CUHK MBA’s Advisory Board members, for providing us a visit to Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), a world-class airport is much more than a gateway; it is a vision of connectivity, efficiency, and innovation.  Ms Cissy Chan, Executive Director, Commercial, Airport Authority Hong Kong, shared invaluable insights into the future of one of the world’s busiest aviation hubs. Standing on the HKIA Tower balcony, with a sweeping view of the airport’s vast operations, participants were reminded of the scale and ambition required to shape the future of global air travel.

Key takeaways from this industry immersive experience:

✈️Looking-forward vision: HKIA’s expansion and development plans underscored the airport’s commitment to enhancing capacity, efficiency, and sustainability.
