The Future of General Aviation in H. K.

General Aviation is essential to the development and economy of any great city and country. The Chek Lap Kok Airport is not as good as you think. It is genetically designed only for general passenger and cargo transportation and is disabled for general aviation activities.

The Kai Tak Airport could have been a good complement to make up for the disabilities and short-comings of the Chek Lap Kok Airport on general aviation economy.

The WRONG  concept  of  regarding "Kai Tak Airport and Chek Lap Kok Airport are mutually exclusive" is only a short-sighted planning for Hong Kong. The town planning for Kai Tak is following this outdated colonial "borrowed time, borrowed space" concept without thinking of the development  of  Hong Kong and China as an autonomous country for millenniums. A planned preservation in the re-development of the Kai Tak Airport is a  A Solution for the Reduction of Budget Deficit, Generation of Revenue, Provision of Employment, and the Facilitation of Economic Switch-over of Hong Kong as badly sought after by the HKSAR Government.

However,  contrary to the usual practice of  planning of a great city, general aviation has never been considered by the city planners of Hong Kong. The Kai Tak airport is all dug up and scrapped. Local flying are  banned from using the Chek Lap Kok Airport.  Shek Kong Airfield is opened for limited flying only on some Sundays/Saturdays. Helicopter flying at the Aviation Club will be banned when tall buildings have all built up around. Have you thought  about the future of General Aviation in Hong Kong ?  What will you do ? Folding arms ? Keeping quiet when you have a lot to say  for the future of Hong Kong?

The mutilation of the
Kai Tak Runway.

Hong Kong has lost its final chance for general aviation development to augment its narrow economic activities.
