Hong Kong's aviation industry is recruiting, hoping to recruit 25,000 people in the short term
News from Civil Aviation Resource Network on April 15, 2023: With the full opening of the border, the demand of the aviation industry has soared. Hong Kong's aviation industry, which has been hit hard by the epidemic, has also recently recruited troops, hoping to recruit 25,000 people in a short period of time. The industry also called on the Hong Kong government to import foreign workers to ensure Hong Kong's status as an aviation hub.
It has been several months since Hong Kong Airport resumed full operation, but Hong Kong's commercial flight and passenger traffic have only reached 60% and 40% of the pre-epidemic levels respectively. Legislators from Hong Kong's shipping industry and several aviation industry representatives pointed out that the shortage of manpower has prevented the aviation industry from achieving its expected goals, and that the airport's distance from the city center is also one of the reasons why the aviation industry has difficulty recruiting employees.
Zhong Weiming, general manager of the ground handling equipment engineering company, said: "It takes 1.5 hours to work at the Hong Kong airport. For example, it takes 1.5 hours to go to the airport from North Point, and another 1.5 hours to return. It is actually very painful to spend three hours all day."
At present, Hong Kong Airport has 53,000 employees, which is less than the 78,000 before the epidemic. Therefore, at least 20,000 people have to be added to reach the pre-epidemic level of operation. Solar high intensity obstruction light B type manufacturers,

With the expansion project of the airport's three-runway system coming into full operation next year, the industry estimates that an additional 70,000 people will be hired. Some people in the industry urged the Hong Kong government to consider recruiting non-local workers, especially through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to allow mainland foreign workers to work at the Hong Kong airport.
The Secretary for Transport and Logistics stated earlier that the Airport Authority has completed a new round of airport manpower survey and hopes to formulate measures to promote human resources in the industry later this year.
