Hong Kong Seeks Advantage in Flight Chaos From Iran War: SCMP

Hong Kong authorities are working with airlines to expand flight capacity and strengthen the city’s role as a transfer hub, seeking to capitalize on travel disruptions caused by the war in Iran, the South China Morning Post reported on Saturday, citing Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan.

Hong Kong may boost capacity on some direct flights to Europe and the US or add more transfer services, Chan told the newspaper. Completion of the three-runway system combined with the opening of a second passenger terminal building in May would further that aim, she said.
