At the launch ceremony of the center, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam stated that Hong Kong has a world-class airport and a comprehensive aviation service network, making it an important international aviation hub, especially with outstanding achievements in the field of air cargo transportation. The SAR government is actively promoting the development of Hong Kong into a leading aircraft recycling and parts trading center in the region. The key to achieving this vision lies in the stable cultivation of aircraft maintenance technicians and engineering technical talents. The cooperation between Hong Kong International Aviation Institute and Elior will provide strong support for the cultivation of relevant talents. The Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Airport Authority, Carrie Lam, pointed out that Hong Kong International Airport has world-class professional aircraft maintenance facilities and services. As an important aviation service enterprise in France, Elior will introduce international advanced experience in this cooperation to further enhance Hong Kong's aviation engineering level. Daniel Drichburg, Chairman and CEO of Elior Group, expressed confidence in Hong Kong's strength as an international metropolis and aviation hub. He will continue to increase investment in Hong Kong, build an "aviation trilogy" that includes talent training, aviation engineering maintenance, and aircraft parts recycling, and strive to create a sustainable aviation ecosystem for Hong Kong. It is reported that the newly established training center will provide comprehensive courses covering both theory and practice for in-service aviation maintenance engineering personnel, including aircraft structural design, system operation, and related industry standards.
