The Civil Aviation Department (CAD) of Hong Kong and the Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB) of the Civil Aviation Administration of China today (November 25) held a meeting in Shanghai to further exchange views on optimisation and co-operation on the use of the Pearl River Delta (PRD) airspace. The topics discussed at the meeting included the progress of establishing new air routes for the eastern part of the Mainland and an associated additional handover point between the Hong Kong and Guangzhou Flight Information Regions as agreed between the CAD and the ATMB last month, as well as other airspace enhancement measures in the PRD region.
The CAD, as in the past, will continue to proactively promote exchanges and co-operation on PRD region air traffic management, as well as continue to study and implement other measures to further enhance the airspace design and management in the region to cope with the rapid growth in air traffic in the future.
