A French professional aeronautic services company plans to establish its Asia headquarters in Hong Kong as part of a commitment to expanding its regional presence, paving the way for the city to host the continent’s first aircraft parts processing and trading centre.
“Elior Group SA’s intention to expand its presence in Hong Kong highlights the city’s dynamic business environment and immense growth potential across sectors, including its growing aviation centre of excellence,” the government said.
Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan said that Hong Kong was capable of taking on a more important role in the aviation field, and could proactively contribute to the high-quality development and high-level opening-up of the nation.
“I am pleased to see that Elior Group SA and the Airport Authority are exploring the possibility of introducing aircraft parts handling and trading services in Hong Kong, thereby enriching Hong Kong’s position as an international aviation hub and supporting the aviation development of our country as well as the Asian region as a whole,” she said.
