Hong Kong on way to securing green fuel supply to safeguard aviation hub status

Hong Kong risks losing its status as an international aviation hub if it fails to secure a reliable, credibly certified supply of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the head of the government’s think tank has warned.

Stephen Wong Yuen-shan, head of the Chief Executive’s Policy Unit, made the remarks at the Sustainable Aviation Futures China Congress on Tuesday, days after the government set out its fuel strategy in the city’s first five-year plan and policy address amid mounting global competition.

“It is a question of whether Hong Kong can remain an international aviation hub as the economics and rules of global aviation change,” he said.
