During 3 to 6 December 2024, the Hong Kong Observatory cooperated with the International Civil Aviation Organization Asia and Pacific Office (ICAO APAC) to organise an international workshop on “Aviation Meteorological Science and Service Development” under the Voluntary Cooperation Programme (VCP) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The workshop was the first activity of the Meteorological Training Centre for Belt and Road Countries, newly established by the Observatory. Over 90 participants from more than 45 countries attended the workshop, either online or in person. The workshop demonstrated the Observatory’s commitment to enhancing aviation meteorological services across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
