The new Cooperation Arrangement will facilitate aircraft maintenance licences holders issued by the three authorities to work in the aircraft maintenance organisations located in the three places.

Acting CEO of CASL, Dr. Angus Cheung says, “We are excited that the new Cooperation Agreement has been signed and are confident that the connectivity between Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao will greatly benefit the aircraft maintenance industry in Hong Kong by fostering cooperation through the exchange of talents, information, knowledge and expertise.
