Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled The Strategies to Sustain Hong Kong International Airport as the Air Cargo Hub in the Pearl River Delta Submitted by Lam Hon Chuen For the Degree of Master of Arts in Transport Policy and Planning at The University of Hong Kong in June 2003 To what extent Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) can sustain its strategic role as a regional cargo hub against competition from the airports in the Pearl River Delta is an important question for the Airport Authority. Despite the air cargo traffic just accounts for only 1% of the total cargo movement, it represents almost 27% of the total value of the Hong Kong's total trade. It is an important strategic industry of Hong Kong. The aim of this study is to formulate some strategies for the HKIA in sustaining its leading position as an air cargo hub through examining its present strengths and weaknesses and exploring its future opportunities and threats. To get more information and understand more about the internal factors of HKIA, a field research was conducted for this pursuit. And Porter's Five Forces Model was applied in analyzing those external factors influencing the status of HKIA. The results of this study indicate that HKIA in general is the dominant regional air- transportation hub and it will be able to maintain its edge in the foreseeable future despite the ambition of airports in the Pearl River Delta. However, at the same time, it is suggested that HKIA should adopt a low cost and differentiation strategies in order to enhance its leadership role.
