Lam Hok-yin

On 10 December 2025, the Hong Kong Observatory and the Air Traffic Management Bureau of the Civil Aviation Administration of China signed a renewed Memorandum of Cooperation on Long-term Technical Cooperation in Aviation Meteorological Services in Hong Kong.

The original memorandum of cooperation, signed in 1999, laid the foundation for technical cooperation in aviation meteorology between the Mainland and Hong Kong. The renewed memorandum deepens the cooperation between the two parties in various areas of aviation meteorology, including meteorological communication and observation, hazardous weather alerting technology, personnel exchanges, and international engagement. Both parties will also strengthen mutual support in providing international training programs in aviation meteorology.
