On 21 March, French aeronautics group Elior Group SA pushes their plans to set up a new regional headquarters in Hong Kong as part of their regional expansion into the Asian market. A new shop is planned to be established near Hong Kong International Airport.
Elior Group: New Regional Headquarters Planned in Hong Kong
Elior Group SA, a subsidiary of the Derichebourg Group, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Hong Kong Airport Authorities. This memorandum confirms the group’s ambitions to set up a new facility near the Hong Kong International Airport. This facility will serve as a shop for aircraft parts processing and trading services.
Mable Chan, the Secretary of Transport and Logistics, shows positive expectations during the singing:
“We are glad to witness the discussion bewteen Elior Group SA and the Airport Authories in introducing aircraft parts processing and trading sevices into Hong Kong. This would highlight again the city’s status as a global aviation hub, and a crucial part of aviation development in the country as well as the Asian region.”
HKIA: Reconsolidated Regional Aviation Hub
This signing opens a new chapter for the group’s regional expansion of their business into Asia. The new facility would be the first of this kind in Asia, reconsolidating the HKIA’s status as a prominent regional aviation hub.
The Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has always been a crucial hub for global aviation. Home to Cathay Pacific, one of the world’s most renowned full-service airlines, HKIA continues to consolidate and expand its influence.
The airport has recently shown increased connectivity with mainland China and other regions. Maximizing its new three-runway system fully, the HKIA is again taking another major step in development. This memorandum and Elior Group SA’s plans for new facilities in the region bring new opportunities and dynamics for regional aviation business development.
