Dear Parents & Students,

While fastening your seatbelt before landing and after take-off of your overseas travel, have you ever thought of the air traffic management and information exchange between your flight and ground personnel, to ensure your journey is pleasant and safe?  The Civil Aviation Department (CAD) Headquarters is located at the Hong Kong International Airport.  CAD Divisions scattered over different parts of Hong Kong in the past were relocated under one roof in December 2012 to provide efficient one-stop service to the aviation community and the general public.

The CAD Headquarters is constructed with three main design themes, namely "Sustainability", "Environmental Friendliness" and "Education".  Over 30% of the site area and the roof of the Headquarters is landscaped.  With a view to arousing the interest of the general public in aviation, an Education Path inside the CAD Headquarters features a variety of themed exhibits including the history of Hong Kong’s aviation development, an introduction to the CAD and the aviation community, aviation and aircraft knowledge as well as the operations behind air traffic control.

This visit will provide an opportunity to members to understand the operation of Civil Aviation in Hong Kong through the tour of exhibition galleries within the Education Path.  The visit is jointly organized with Maryknoll Convent School (Secondary Section) Parent-Teacher Association.

Details of the Visit are as follows:

Date:             2 May, 2015 (Saturday)

Time:            2pm to 5:45pm
