Revision of air transport licence fee
The Governor-in-Council has approved a proposal to revise the air transport licence fee, a Government spokesman said.
The new fee payable for the grant of an air transport licence to local airlines will be revised to a fixed cost of $5,650 per application plus $5,170 for each point covered by the licence, excluding Hong Kong, the spokesman said.
"The fee revision is in line with the government policy of recovering the administrative costs associated with the provision of service.
"The new fee will have only a minimal effect on the total operating cost of local airlines, and any indirect impact on consumers should be negligible," he said.
The new fee will take effect on May 1 this year.
