Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) announced that 100% of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) personnel in the 'Targeted Groups' category have received at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine and 90% of all personnel from more than 270 companies operating at HKIA have also been double dosed. 

In a statement, AAHK said it now plans to facilitate the implementation of third doses for relevant HKIA personnel.

The AA announced that all staff entering the airport restricted area have been fully vaccinated, except those with medical reasons.

In addition, 90% of all staff from more than 270 companies at the airport community have also been vaccinated.

The AA has required all of its staff to be vaccinated. To date, around 97% of the staff of both the AA and Aviation Security Company Limited (AVSECO) have been vaccinated.

Vivian Cheung, executive director, Airport Operations of the AA, said: “We have been prioritising COVID-19 prevention in our operations to protect our staff, our passengers and the wider Hong Kong community. I am very pleased that our business partners share the same concern by putting great effort into promoting vaccination among their staff members, and it is encouraging to see that fellow airport workers have responded positively to the appeal to get themselves protected through vaccination.”

“We will continue to work closely with all airport companies and staff to stay vigilant against COVID-19 while maintaining smooth airport operations,” Cheung added.
