Hong Kong to Host ACI World Annual General Assembly in 2019

Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has been chosen as the host airport for the 2019 Airports Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific / World Annual General Assembly, Conference & Exhibition (WAGA).

Expected to attract more than 1,000 airport and industry leaders from around the world, the two prominent international and regional assemblies will take place 2-4 April 2019.

Delegates attending will vote on key decisions, discuss important issues and assess future prospects. The assembly meetings, to be held at AsiaWorld-Expo near the airport, will also include exhibitions and conferences for aviation professionals to network, exchange insights and receive updates on the latest industry trends.

Fred Lam, Chief Executive Officer of Airport Authority Hong Kong, said, “It is a great honour to host this prestigious event in our hometown. HKIA is one of the world’s busiest airports and an international aviation hub. I believe through sharing, exchange and collaboration between different airports, we can enhance the overall operations and services of all airport operators. The event will also showcase Hong Kong to a global audience. We are working hard on our preparations to ensure that the delegates have a wonderful time during their stay in Hong Kong.”
