Hong Kong Airlines Flight Cleared for Takeoff on Cathay-Occupied Runway

Last month, an Airbus A330 operated by Hong Kong Airlines was allegedly waiting for take-off clearance while a Cathay Pacific cargo plane landed on the same runway at Hong Kong International Airport (HKG).

Responding to the incident, a Civil Aviation Department spokesperson said, “The investigation team will continue to collect and study all relevant information in order to determine the circumstances and cause of the serious incident. More in-depth investigation and analysis have to be conducted before any conclusion can be drawn.”
