Air Navigation (Hong Kong) Order 1995 takes effect

The Air Navigation (Hong Kong) Order 1995 takes effect today (Friday), a government spokesman announced today.

"The Privy Council approved the new Order on October 18, 1995 and it will become effective on December 1, 1995," the spokesman said.

The Order is essentially an updated version of the Air Navigation (Overseas Territories) Order 1977, and contains provisions on technical issues relating to civil aviation.

"This includes, inter alia, provisions governing airworthiness; operation and equipment of aircraft; management of aircraft crew; licensing and operation of aerodromes and control of air traffic," the spokesman said.

"The new Order will provide an up-to-date framework for regulating and administering civil aviation in Hong Kong, which is essential in maintaining our role as a centre of international and regional civil aviation."

"At a later date, our intention is that the Order be localised as part of the process of localising civil aviation enactments currently applied to Hong Kong," he added.
