Preface

Hong Kong has encountered many ups and downs in the past year, from the social unrest to the coronavirus, furthermore, Hong Kongers who are used to travelling abroad and scattered all four corners of the world were completely caught off guard with the pandemic.

Families are struggling to cope in their tiny home. The news is full of negativity, the local economy and mental health wellbeing are taking a toll. A group of local pilots in Hong Kong has come together to use their time grounded to share their stories, experience and widening the opportunities in the aviation industry and use aerospace to promote STEM, English and bring out hope and aspirations for the people of Hong Kong, especially our next generation, who are desperate for new opportunities.

Now is the time to be united regardless of our difference, background, nationality and beliefs. We hope that the new jobs and opportunities created by the third-runway system along with the greater bay area will be serving our next generations to come.
