Abstract

Without doubt, Hong Kong, which entitled as a major air hub in Asia-Pacific, has handled over 3.6 million tonnes of cargo and 44.5 million passengers in 2006. Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is the world's fifth busiest international passenger airport and had one of the most active air cargo operations worldwide. However, the increasing number of air cargo volume shipped directly from mainland airports; improving infrastructure development and aviation standard among PRD airports are challengeable for our leading position. In this paper, it aims to review of research and identify the selection criteria of air hub in PRD region from shippers' perspective. A comprehensive study reported in the literature that has focused on the selection criteria of air hub in PRD region which are required to fill the research gap. Recommendations and strategies are provided in order to maintain sustainability of HKIA in next decades.
