On July 4, Operations Wing organised a thematic training day for the Command Cadre to strengthen its members’ preparedness for emergency responses to major incidents such as aircraft crash.

Officers visited the Integrated Airport Centre and Airport Emergency Centre of the Hong Kong International Airport and exchanged with officers-in-charge on the roles and coordination work in handling aviation incidents. Members then discussed the relevant firefighting and rescue work with Crash Commanders from the Fire Services Department and also toured the newly-built Airport North Fire Station. Moreover, officers had discussions about aircraft accidents and relief work such as incident investigations with investigators from the Air Accident Investigation Authority of Transport and Logistics Bureau. This session reinforced mutual understanding and set a good foundation for collaboration during investigations in the future.
