DGCA attends GBA Civil Aviation Youth Exchange Program Launching Ceremony in Guangzhou (with photos)

******************************************************************************************

The Director-General of Civil Aviation, Mr Victor Liu, led a Civil Aviation Department (CAD) delegation to attend the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) Civil Aviation Youth Exchange Program (the Program) Launching Ceremony in Guangzhou today (May 17). The program is jointly organised by the Central and Southern Regional Administration of the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the CAD. Under the theme of "GBA Quest for Dreams, Youthful companionship Lights the Path", the Program seeks to furnish young aviation practitioners with a platform to acquire an in-depth understanding of the aviation industry in the Mainland and Hong Kong, as well as to enhance the exchange of talent and promote high-quality and synergistic development of civil aviation in the GBA.

The first phase of the three-staged program will be taking place in Hong Kong from today until May 20. Some 60 young aviation practitioners from the GBA will be visiting aviation facilities and organisations including the CAD, Hong Kong International Airport, the Government Flying Service, the Airport Authority Hong Kong, Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited and local airlines to learn about the latest developments and applications of advanced technologies in the local aviation industry. The second phase of the Program will be rolled out in mid-June when participants will travel to the East China region for an exchange visit. Participants will gather in Hong Kong again this October for the final phase of the Program.

The Program is not only an invaluable opportunity for young aviation practitioners from the GBA to share aviation knowledge and upgrade skills, it also serves as a platform to facilitate mutual understanding, strengthen friendship, and to promote mutual collaboration for exploring future development opportunities for the aviation industry. Addressing the ceremony, Mr Liu said that young people were the future of the country and he encouraged young aviation practitioners to seize career opportunities of the GBA aviation industry through the Program.
