Aviation, Cruise & Yacht Awards in Hong Kong

Hong Kong International Airport handles more cargo than any other airport on earth and, with its third runway, is planning for passenger volumes well beyond pre-pandemic levels. Around it: the home carrier and the regional and long-haul airlines it competes with, ground-handling and catering companies, freight forwarders and integrators at the cargo terminals, one of Asia's largest MRO operations, business-aviation operators and an airport city taking shape on Lantau. On the water: the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, Ocean Terminal, ferry operators to Macau and the Pearl River Delta, and a yacht industry — clubs, marinas, brokerage, charter, refit — that is among Asia's oldest.

The Asia Best of Best Awards' 75 aviation, cruise and yacht categories, the International Travel Awards' airline, airport, cruise and yacht categories and the leadership programmes cover all of it.

What the jury will ask an aviation or maritime company

What do you operate, and how much of it? Fleet, routes, terminals, hangars, berths — with dates. Is it growing? Passengers, movements, tonnage, calls or charters over a defined period, indexed if needed. Is it safe and certified? Audit records and approvals — CAD, IOSA, IS-BAO, ISO, Marine Department. What do customers say? Scores and recognition. What is new? Sustainable aviation fuel, electrification, shore power, digital services, the third-runway ramp-up — with dates. Regional-hub roles are distinctive evidence when quantified.
