“As part of the relief package for Hong Kong’s aviation industry during the pandemic, the Airport Authority Hong Kong provided liquidity support to the home-based carriers in 2020 by sponsoring air tickets in advance,” the authority’s chief operating officer Vivian Cheung Kar-fay said.
“The air tickets will be used to promote traffic recovery when the pandemic subsides.”
