Hong Kong and Japan have agreed to lift capacity restriction on air services between Hong Kong and all Japanese cities, except Tokyo.
Hong Kong airlines can respond to market demand by increasing services to Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Sendai and Okinawa, and launching new services to Kagoshima, Okayama and other destinations.
Secretary for Transport & Housing Eva Cheng today said the move will strengthen Hong Kong's status as an international and regional aviation hub.
"The travelling public will no doubt benefit from more competitive services to existing and new destinations. Trade, investment and tourism ties between Hong Kong and Japan will also be strengthened," Ms Cheng said.
The Government will seek to increase the air services between Hong Kong and Tokyo - where airport-expansion works are underway - in the next round of air-services consultations with the Japanese Government.
