From the Plane Talking article..
conduct most of its operations in a five hour period during which no-one wants to fly
I think the director general was hinting that they should forget this idea due to the plan by the Gov to cap overnight movements
to current levels to shut the noise whingers up in Park Island and Tung Chung.

No additional night time slots as of NOW.
Looks like they just killed the airport.
P.S. BTW, its not just a 5 hour period. Apparently "overnight" is considered to be from 10pm to 7am.
SCMP and Apple Daily: Start asking a few hard questions about how a bunch of whingers on an island that wasn't developed til 2 years
after the airport was opened and another bunch who live in the town that only existed
because of the airport construction can kill our 24 hour airport.
