Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled Evaluating Hong Kong's Continued Role as Asia's Aviation Hub Submitted by Leung Wai Lun, William for the degree of Master of Arts in Transport Policy and Planning at The University of Hong Kong in June 2004 In the coming decades, Asia will be the focus of the world's air transportation because of its rapid growth of demand in the past few years. Such growth partly results from the construction or upgrading of a large number of airports including the new airports in Hong Kong and Macau which were opened in 1998 and 1996 respectively, and the existing airports in Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan which continuously expand their capacities. Each of these airports aims at becoming a major air transport centre or hub of the region to stimulate the local economy. At present, the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) located at Chek Lap Kok in Lantau Island provides functional and cost efficient airport facilities with sufficient capacity to accommodate continued growth in passenger and cargo demand. i It acts as an aviation hub which enables airlines to carry passengers and cargoes to and from Hong Kong. Other airports in the Asia Pacific and Pearl River Delta Economic Region (PRD) are posing competitive pressures to affect the status of Hong Kong's position as Asia aviation hub. Besides, after the reversion of Hong Kong to China in 1997, Hong Kong has been more closely integrated with the PRD Region. It is small in area and population but dominant in the value of exports and gross national product when compared with the PRD Region. Under these situations, some questions are raised about the appropriateness of the location, capacity and cost of the HKIA and its continuing importance as an aviation hub in the region. The purposes of this dissertation are to analyze whether Hong Kong's position is still appropriate as the major Asia aviation hub in the future; and recommend strategies for the development of the Hong Kong's aviation industry to maintain its position as an Asia aviation hub. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b2991432 Subjects: Airports - China - Hong Kong - Evlauation Aeronautics, Commercial - China - Hong Kong - Evlauation
