Bigger blip on radar
Article Abstract:
Hong Kong's Air Transport Licensing Authority has granted Air Hong Kong Ltd licenses to service 31 destinations out of 80 which it had previously applied for. Of the total, 17 were renewals of the carrier's licenses while the remaining were new. The approvals are expected to increase the company's share in the colony's air freight market. However, industry observers are skeptical as to whether the company can operate in all of its points of destination owing to its small size.
