Hong Kong has fully regained its status as an international aviation hub, the head of an international association has said, arguing that some foreign airlines’ failure to restore capacity to pre-pandemic levels in the city was due to supply chain and airspace issues rather than geopolitics.
Willie Walsh, director general of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), told the Post on Tuesday at the organisation’s headquarters in Geneva that he stood by his earlier conviction that the city would recover its world-class aviation hub status by the end of this year.
