Hong Kong’s Greater Bay Airlines applies for route licences

Greater Bay Airlines (Hong Kong Int’l) has applied to the Hong Kong Department of Transport for 104 route authorities covering China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Viet Nam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Mongolia, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam. The routes were left vacant following the demise of Cathay Dragon (KA, Hong Kong Int’l) and its subsequent merger into parent Cathay Pacific (CX, Hong Kong Int’l). Hong Kong Air Cargo already operates five A330-200(F)s on scheduled flights covering Singapore, Malaysia, Viet Nam, India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Kazakhstan, and Turkey. The Air Transport Licensing Authority (ATLA) has given 14 days for any objections/representations to be made for either of the applications following which it will make its decision.
