Business aviation, with the option of cross-boun= dary helicopter commercial services, presents a seamless way to go from and= to Hong Kong within the GBA and will help drive and raise integration mome= ntum to benefit Hong Kong and the GBA. Despite the impact of the pandemic, = I strongly believe, as my late father said likening it to a bouncing ball -= the further it drops, the higher it will come back in future.=E2=80=9D In response to rising demand and the changing demand landscape, HKBAC=E2=80= =99s expansion plan will proceeded in two parts: the first includes the ref= urbishment and expansion of the existing Executive Terminal Building (ETB) = with an upgrade on the co-located customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ)= , plus a new all-weather canopy stretching from the ETB to shield and serve= both aircraft and passengers. The second part features a new Support Termi= nal with enlarged facilities to cope with emerging demands from chartered f= lights and group travel flights, plus additional offices for fellow busines= s aviation stakeholders, both to be launched in 2025. Mr. Robert Chan, Executive Director of Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited and = Project Director of the expansion project said, =E2=80=9Cit is one of the m= ost exciting projects that needs to cater to customer=E2=80=99s demands emp= hasising higher efficiency, greater flexibility, and better privacy. Together with the existing HKBAC facilities, the in-situ expansion shall de= liver an area 5 times that of the existing ones and the number of car-parki= ng bays double the existing provision. The new HKBAC will include designated and exclusive drop off and fast track= check-in for ultimate privacy access when required by the customer. The ne= w Terminal Building will include VIP Lounge and Suites for individuals, fam= ilies and groups, providing world class services. The thoughtfully designed= CIQ shall allow fast-track departure and arrival. Pilot and Crew lounges a= re also enhanced to provide well-equipped spaces for them to work on their = flight plan or simply to rest. The new HKBAC will also be a good place for aviation-related business event= s and shows. As an iconic feature of the new Terminal Building, =E2=80=9CTh= e Canopy=E2=80=9D is first-of-it-kind in Asia and commands a span of over 2= 6 meters. It is designed to cover a private jet and to serve and protect it= s customers from different weather conditions. Various green and smart feat= ures including solar panels, EV chargers, and smart building management sys= tems are also provided in the new HKBAC with various green labels.=E2=80=9D The expansion is expected to not only enhance customer service capacity and= experience, but also provide the opportunity for digitalisation and contin= uous innovation to ground HKBAC=E2=80=99s reputation as Asia=E2=80=99s Best= FBO known for safety, service and style. HKBAC has been offering round-the-clock professional aircraft and ground su= pport services for general aviation aircraft, including business jets, dipl= omatic and emergency flights.

Metrojet CAMO Supports Outstation Third-party= Aircraft Evaluation and Financial Audit
=C2=A0
The Continuing A= irworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) of Metrojet Limited (www.metrojet= .com) has recently supported an aircraft evaluation on a third-party Gu= lfstream G650 aircraft in Guangzhou and Shanghai, China. The in-depth evalu= ation was completed in 3 days by a team of G650 licensed CAMO engineers fro= m the Metrojet Hong Kong headquarters. The aircraft evaluation involved air= worthiness review, document inspection, aircraft technical evaluation, sale= s advice, and management consultation.

The Metrojet CAMO team ha= s also conducted an independent audit on another G650 aircraft for a financ= ing company. The licensed and type-trained CAMO engineers performed a physi= cal aircraft inspection and assessed the aircraft warranty and damage histo= ry on paper. The work was completed by the same team which streamlined the = overall process, reducing the time and cost incurred by the client.
Metrojet=E2=80=99s CEO, Mr Gary Dolski commented, =E2=80=9CWe are start= ing to see a slight increase in the preowned market activity post-pandemic.= The wide range of capabilities of our CAMO team not only adds value to our= existing management services but also benefits our management and third-pa= rty clients in any new or preowned aircraft acquisition. We continue to inv= est in our people and enrich our holistic one-stop-shop services for our cl= ients.=E2=80=9D

Established in 1997, Metrojet, as part of the Ka= doorie Group, pioneered business aviation services in Hong Kong and remains= one of the foremost safety and customer-focussed business jet operators an= d maintenance providers in the Asia Pacific region. The company provides al= l-inclusive aircraft management, maintenance, and aviation consultancy serv= ices to our growing business aviation customer base.

The Ground-break= ing Ceremony was officiated at by Mr. Lam Sai-hung, Secretary for Transport= & Logistics, Guest of Honour, with guests including Mr. Algernon Yau Y= ing-wah, Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development, Captain Victor = Liu Chi-yung, DirectorGeneral of Civil Aviation as well as Mr. Jack So Chak= -kwong, Chairman of Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) and Mr. Fred Lam Tin= -fuk, Chief Executive Officer of AAHK. Representing HKBAC=E2=80=99s shareho= lders on the occasion were Mr. Raymond Kwok, Chairman and Managing Director= of Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited and The Hon. Sir Michael D. Kadoorie, D= irector of Sir Elly Kadoorie & Sons Limited and Director of HKBAC. Mr. = Allen Fung Yuk-lun, Chairman of HKBAC and Mr. Philip L. Kadoorie, Director = of Sir Elly Kadoorie & Sons Limited also joined the Ceremony.
Mr. = Lam Sai-hung, Secretary for Transport & Logistics, said =E2=80=9CHKBAC = will, by virtue of this expansion project, be well-positioned to stay on to= p of the competition, improve the travel experience for passengers and tap = into the rapid growth of business aviation demand in the Greater Bay Area a= nd beyond, thereby helping Hong Kong to maintain its status as a premier in= ternational aviation hub.=E2=80=9D

Mr. Jack So Chak-kwong, Chair= man of Airport Authority Hong Kong, said, =E2=80=9CBusiness aviation plays = an important role in strengthening Hong Kong=E2=80=99s status as a global f= inancial centre, and Hong Kong International Airport=E2=80=99s position as = an international aviation hub. It provides business travellers with enhance= d flexibility and efficiency, which are advantages in our modern commercial= world. Upon completion of the expansion in 2025, Hong Kong Business Aviati= on Centre will double its handling capacity for business jet movements, tyi= ng in with our Three-runway System and the Airport City developments.=E2=80= =9D

Mr Raymond Kwok, Chairman & Managing Director of Sun Hun= g Kai Properties Limited, referred to the impact of the challenging COVID p= andemic over the last nearly three years and said, =E2=80=9CThere are alway= s new challenges, and with that the need for new solutions. Originally, mos= t of our clients were business owners, banking executives and high net-wort= h individuals. Now our clients have become more broad-based and group chart= ers have begun to figure more prominently.

=E2=80=9CWe want to r= e-think how best to meet their differing requirements. The Threerunway Syst= em is coming on line and the Greater Bay Area beckons. Hong Kong=E2=80=99s = traditional gateway role will resume as soon as the door swings open. Like = New York and London, Hong Kong plays a key role in servicing the needs of i= nternational capital. HKBAC=E2=80=99s role is to serve the needs of those a= t centre of these investment decisions for whom time is money, speed essent= ial and freedom of movement vital.=E2=80=9D

The Hon Sir Michael = D. Kadoorie, long time aviation advocate, said, =E2=80=9CWe=E2=80=99ve alwa= ys embraced a long-term view for aviation and Hong Kong. We believe in conn= ectivity and Hong Kong=E2=80=99s unique competitive edge as a world city kn= own for the highest standards and best services, in addition to the plentif= ul development opportunities just across the boundary into the Greater Bay = Area. Business aviation, with the option of cross-boundary helicopter comme= rcial services, presents a seamless way to go from and to Hong Kong within = the GBA and will help drive and raise integration momentum to benefit Hong = Kong and the GBA. Despite the impact of the pandemic, I strongly believe, a= s my late father said likening it to a bouncing ball - the further it drops= , the higher it will come back in future.=E2=80=9D

In response t= o rising demand and the changing demand landscape, HKBAC=E2=80=99s expansio= n plan will proceeded in two parts: the first includes the refurbishment an= d expansion of the existing Executive Terminal Building (ETB) with an upgra= de on the co-located customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ), plus a new = all-weather canopy stretching from the ETB to shield and serve both aircraf= t and passengers. The second part features a new Support Terminal with enla= rged facilities to cope with emerging demands from chartered flights and gr= oup travel flights, plus additional offices for fellow business aviation st= akeholders, both to be launched in 2025.

Mr. Robert Chan, Execut= ive Director of Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited and Project Director of the= expansion project said, =E2=80=9Cit is one of the most exciting projects t= hat needs to cater to customer=E2=80=99s demands emphasising higher efficie= ncy, greater flexibility, and better privacy.

Together with the = existing HKBAC facilities, the in-situ expansion shall deliver an area 5 ti= mes that of the existing ones and the number of car-parking bays double the= existing provision.

The new HKBAC will include designated and e= xclusive drop off and fast track check-in for ultimate privacy access when = required by the customer. The new Terminal Building will include VIP Lounge= and Suites for individuals, families and groups, providing world class ser= vices. The thoughtfully designed CIQ shall allow fast-track departure and a= rrival. Pilot and Crew lounges are also enhanced to provide well-equipped s= paces for them to work on their flight plan or simply to rest.

T= he new HKBAC will also be a good place for aviation-related business events= and shows. As an iconic feature of the new Terminal Building, =E2=80=9CThe= Canopy=E2=80=9D is first-of-it-kind in Asia and commands a span of over 26= meters. It is designed to cover a private jet and to serve and protect its= customers from different weather conditions. Various green and smart featu= res including solar panels, EV chargers, and smart building management syst= ems are also provided in the new HKBAC with various green labels.=E2=80=9D<= br/>
The expansion is expected to not only enhance customer service c= apacity and experience, but also provide the opportunity for digitalisation= and continuous innovation to ground HKBAC=E2=80=99s reputation as Asia=E2= =80=99s Best FBO known for safety, service and style.

HKBAC has = been offering round-the-clock professional aircraft and ground support serv= ices for general aviation aircraft, including business jets, diplomatic and= emergency flights. The majority flights handled by the HKBAC are business = flights. An economic study in recent years found that at least 65 of the to= p 100 Hong Kong listed companies utilized business aviation.<= /div>

Sustainable Aviation Fuel available= at Inverness Airport
=C2=A0
Highlands and Islands Airports Limi= ted (HIAL) is delighted to offer sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at Inverne= ss Airport. The cleaner fuel product is supplied by World Fuel Services as = a 35% blend and is available to all flight operators at the airport.
<= br/> SAF is a synthetic form of jet fuel derived from sustainable sources, = which is made up from recycled materials including used fats and oils. SAF = is then blended with conventional Jet A1 aviation fuel and can be used in a= ny aircraft or engine certified to operate with regular Jet A1 fuel.
<= br/> HIAL=E2=80=99s ambition is to become a net zero regional airport group= and is committed to a continuous supply of SAF at Inverness Airport, where= there is an ongoing demand beyond previous supplies for one-off events or = trials.

Although the technology to develop low and zero emission= aircraft is progressing at pace, in the short-term, flying will remain Jet= A1 fuel based. SAF can act as a bridge between current operations and thes= e new technologies. Offering life cycle carbon reductions of around 70%, SA= F plays a key role in the aviation sectors journey towards net zero.
<= br/> HIAL has already made several steps towards understanding and reducing= its carbon emissions and undertakes annual carbon footprint calculations. = Initiatives already introduced across the group include solar powered passe= nger boarding ramps; 100% electric or hybrid Ground Power Units (GPUs).

New optimised de-icing equipment as well as a replacement programme= of traditional petrol cars with electric vehicles. We have replaced a numb= er of large fire fighting appliances with smaller equivalents that provide = 30% fuel savings and diesel consumption.

HIAL=E2=80=99s Managing= director Inglis Lyon, said: =E2=80=9CAt HIAL we are committed to reducing = our environmental impact. As an operator of 11 airports, it is important to= work with aviation partners to decarbonise flights within Scotland and SAF= will play a vital role to help meeting the Scottish Government's targe= t to create the world's first net-zero aviation region by 2040.
=E2=80=9CThe offering at Inverness Airport takes us one step closer to = meeting our sustainability goals. Making SAF available at Inverness will ho= pefully be a catalyst for its wider introduction across the Highlands and I= slands providing those flying in and out of our airports a real the choice = to support decarbonisation and sustainability goals.

Duncan Stor= ey, Vice President, Supply Aviation Europe at World Fuel Services, said: = =E2=80=9CWorld Fuel Services is committed to the industry=E2=80=99s goal of= reducing carbon emissions. Since 2015, we have delivered more than 39 mill= ion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel to business and commercial aviatio= n customers worldwide. Making sustainable aviation fuel available at Invern= ess furthers the adoption of cleaner fuels. World Fuel will continue invest= ing in innovative solutions and expanding renewable and lower-emission fuel= s and energy offerings to help advance the industry on its path to net zero= .=E2=80=9D

Kevin Stewart, Minister for Transport said: =E2=80=9C= While it=E2=80=99s important to have longer term targets to achieve net zer= o, it=E2=80=99s equally important to reduce emissions today where we can. T= he introduction of a continuous supply of sustainable aviation fuel at Inve= rness Airport will enable aircraft flying now to lower their emissions as w= e work to achieve full net zero.=E2=80=9D
