Environmental Policy
We Care
We care because we want to provide citizens of Hong Kong with a better environment by minimizing aircraft noise exposure to populated area.
The growth of civil aviation has brought prosperity to our economy. For this growth to continue, the aircraft noise must be carefully controlled such that it would not turn into an unbearable nuisance. Otherwise, noise could become a restraining force on aviation's development and our aviation partners' businesses. Once the need for improvement is identified, we would instigate measures to maximize the compatibility between the growth of civil aviation and the quality of the environment.
 We care because our Earth's natural resources are limited.
Conducting our daily businesses would consume paper and energy, and generate pollution. Like any other environmentally responsible organizations, we would apply measures to control our activities such that waste and pollution are minimized and that our Earth's natural resources could re-generate to cope with humanity's needs.
Our Vision
While CAD is committed to a safe and efficient air transport system, we also strive to improve the environmental quality for Hong Kong citizens.
To materialize our vision, we will act as stewards for environmental protection at all time.
