Hmmm, not a lot I'm afraid. Certainly not PRD-wise.
Everybody working flat out on the new radar system.
We were expecting to move into our new Centre soon but .....get someone to translate the Apple Daily for you. They seem to know even more than we do.

Minor change to the CANTO and SIERA STARs coming in May. Crossing height at MURRY lowered. A window now F110/130. Know the 744 and 777 guys don't care but the hard F130 kills the 330 guys and the -8 struggles a bit too apparently. Especially if you get slowed on first contact with APP - which is only like, 99% of the time.
You should see the AIP Supps come out shortly.

We're consistently getting close to or over 1100 flights a day now into HKIA. Will go close to 1200 over Easter. Growth still running at 6% pa as of last month.
700 odd overflights as well. LCCs in the region have exploded this past 12 months.

PS. And yes, 3RS operations predicated on airspace issues being resolved satisfactorily by early 2020s. Once 3RS is in, you will go up the Tai Lam gap off the Centre runway to head north.
