Speaking at the reception, Ms Mable Chan, the Secretary for Transport and Logistics, said: “The HKSAR Government is committed to strengthening Hong Kong’s status as an international aviation hub. Over the years, we have maintained close collaboration with CALC, with a shared commitment to developing Hong Kong into an aircraft leasing and financing hub. Leveraging its extensive asset management experience and comprehensive lifecycle service capabilities, CALC has grown into an important bridge connecting Hong Kong with the Mainland and international aviation markets, with its track record speaks for itself.

“CALC also plays a significant role in supporting the development of the nation’s aviation manufacturing industry and has been actively contributing to the advancement of Hong Kong’s aircraft parts processing and trading business. The holding of CALC’s industry seminar comes at a pivotal moment for Hong Kong’s aviation industry. With the support of the National 15th Five-Year Plan and the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong’s role as an international aviation hub is becoming increasingly important. We look forward to working together with CALC to explore greater opportunities in international markets and to chart a new chapter for the aviation industry.”

Mr. Mike Poon, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of CALC, said: “ We are delighted to gather here today with our valued friends to celebrate this important milestone, building on Hong Kong’s strengths as an international financial and aviation hub that have supported CALC’s growth over the past two decades. This evening is more than a celebration of years gone by. It is about a story that began 20 years ago and is still being written. A story of growing alongside Hong Kong, of connecting Chinese Mainland with the global aviation market, of supporting airlines and partners worldwide, and, above all, of shaping the future of the industry together.

Today, CALC has grown beyond a traditional aircraft lessor into an integrated aviation platform spanning aircraft leasing, aviation aftermarket services, aircraft asset management and commercial aviation operations. With a combined fleet and order book of more than 300 aircraft and customers in over 20 countries and regions, we owe our growth to the support of the HKSAR Government and aviation authorities, the trust of our shareholders, customers and partners, and the dedication of our team. We are grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey.”
