HONG KONG, 12 September 2024: A reconfigured Centre Runway flight check at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) was successfully completed earlier this week, marking a key milestone in declaring readiness for the three-runway operation.
A series of flight checks, which commenced in August 2024, was conducted collaboratively by the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK), the Civil Aviation Department and the Flight Inspection Centre of the Civil Aviation Administration of China to ensure that related air navigation service equipment, flight procedures and airfield ground lighting system at the reconfigured Centre Runway fully comply with the standards of International Civil Aviation Organisation.
The reconfigured Centre Runway at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) flight check has been completed.
Following the commissioning of the North Runway in November 2022, the Centre Runway has been temporarily closed for reconfiguration as part of the Three-runway System (3RS) development. The reconfiguration works include relevelling of the runway pavement to tie in with connecting taxiways, constructing new runway entry and exit taxiways, building new wrap-around taxiways at both ends of the Centre Runway, and more. AAHK continues to target the commencement of operation with all three runways at HKIA before the end of this year as scheduled.
The 3RS will provide capacity for HKIA to meet the long-term air traffic demand of 120 million passengers and 10 million tonnes of cargo forecast for 2035, consolidating HKIA’s position as the leading aviation hub in the region.
At this crucial juncture of Hong Kong’s aviation development, HKIA’s leading position was again recognised at the World Travel Awards this year. The awards voted HKIA “Asia’s Leading Airport” for the fourth time since 2020 and “China’s Leading Airport” for the third year.
The World Travel Awards celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries and are recognised globally as the hallmark of industry achievement. Winners are selected by travel industry specialists and passengers from around the world.
AAHK Acting Chief Executive Officer Vivian Cheung said: “We are proud to be honoured as ‘Asia’s Leading Airport’ and ‘China’s Leading Airport’ again amid intense regional competition. With the commencement of the three-runway operation before the end of the year, HKIA will continue to enhance its competitiveness to consolidate its position as the preeminent aviation hub in Asia and gateway to the Mainland China market.”

BANGKOK, 11 September 2024: Japan Airlines has become the first A350 operator globally to sign up with Airbus for the computer-based A350 Virtual Procedure Trainer (VPT).
This state-of-the-art training tool offers an interactive environment for practising critical flight procedures and emergency scenarios.

With this integration, JAL now benefits from the full spectrum of Airbus flight training solutions, leveraging the latest training concepts and technologies to enhance training efficiency and knowledge retention. The airline’s inaugural group of trainees on the A350 VPT comprises 12 pilots.
The Airbus-developed VPT provides realistic virtual environments tailored to the airline’s specific models, making it invaluable for enhancing pilot proficiency and preparedness. Its flexibility allows for training at any time and location, reducing disruptions and offering significant cost-efficiency by minimising training expenses and aircraft downtime.
Airbus Head of Commercial Services for APAC, Balinda Zhang, noted: “We are thrilled to support JAL with the implementation of the A350 VPT. Airbus is dedicated to providing exceptional support throughout the integration process to ensure a seamless transition.

BANGKOK, 11 September 2024: Dusit International’s reimagined flagship Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel will officially open to guests on 27 September 2024, signalling an exciting new chapter for the hotel group in Thailand and overseas.
Completely rebuilt from the ground up as part of the Dusit Central Park mixed-use development, the new Dusit Thani Bangkok pays homage to its 50-year legacy while setting a new standard for luxury hospitality.
To complete this luxurious sanctuary, the new hotel features just 257 guest rooms — a thoughtful reduction from its predecessor’s 517, prioritising spaciousness. These exquisite rooms, starting at an impressive 50 sqm, were designed by André Fu Studio to blend traditional elegance with modern luxury while uniquely framing the expansive park views beyond.
All of its luxurious guest rooms boast uninterrupted views of Lumpini Park. Elegant, cantilevered window seats extend from each guest room, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the stunning panorama.
In addition to the luxurious rooms, the new Dusit Thani Bangkok boasts a unique urban wellness concept that delivers well-being experiences beyond the spa and ten restaurants and bars created in collaboration with renowned chefs and mixologists.
The hotel boasts over 5,000 sqm of dedicated meeting and event space for business travellers and event planners. The centrepiece is one of Bangkok’s largest grand ballrooms, featuring a dramatic eight-metre ceiling and a panoramic view of Lumpini Park. Additional meeting spaces cater to both intimate gatherings and large-scale events.
Additional elements of Dusit Central Park, including ultra-luxury residences (Dusit Residences and Dusit Parkside), a state-of-the-art office tower, a high-end retail centre, and an 11,200 sq m Roof Park, are all slated to open in 2025
Honouring a legacy
Dusit International Group CEO Suphajee Suthumpun emphasised the company’s commitment to merging contemporary trends with the timeless spirit of the original Dusit Thani Bangkok, which was the city’s tallest, grandest building when it first opened in 1970.
“For over five decades, the original Dusit Thani Bangkok was a beloved landmark, a true ambassador of Thai hospitality for global travellers,” said Suthumpun. “As we embarked on its reimagination, we were committed to honouring that legacy while exceeding the expectations of today’s sophisticated guests. This meant meticulously preserving elements of the original hotel and seamlessly blending them with a fresh, modern design. Throughout this process, we stayed true to the vision of Dusit’s founder, Thanpuying Chanut Piyaoui, and owner, Mr Chanin Donavanik, to showcase Thai culture, art, and gracious service in a way that resonates with contemporary travellers and adapts to evolving preferences. Sustainability remains a core focus for Dusit, and this commitment is also reflected in the new hotel’s design and operations. Ultimately, we aim to deliver an unparalleled guest experience while preserving the warmth and service that have always been synonymous with the Dusit Thani name.”
The reimagined Dusit Thani Bangkok goes beyond design to celebrate its heritage. The original hotel’s iconic golden spire, a beloved landmark, has returned and is now contained within a new, three-times-larger spire. Guests can also admire paintings and murals from the original hotel’s Benjarong Thai Restaurant, including the restaurant’s meticulously preserved main pillars, which were carefully removed and reinstalled in the new hotel’s main lobby. The intricate carved teak ceiling from the same restaurant has also been meticulously reassembled, giving new life to the hotel’s heritage.
There is no other building like it in Bangkok. Inside and out, it is instantly recognisable as the Dusit Thani Bangkok. With just 16 days to go, the countdown to its reawakening begins.

SINGAPORE, 11 September 2024: Income Insurance launched FlexiTravel Plus on Tuesday, Singapore’s first travel insurance that enables travellers to extend travel protection, as needed by the hour, to 19 Asian destinations*.

As the plus-sized travel insurance for short trips, FlexiTravel Plus replaces FlexiTravel Hourly Insurance, which only covers travellers to Bintan, Batam, and Malaysia. It is part of Income Insurance’s latest travel insurance innovations, which provide greater flexibility and value-added benefits for travellers.
FlexiTravel Plus charges a minimum of SGD1.80 for a six-hour block of protection. Travellers can extend coverage at SGD0.30 for every additional hour, capped at a maximum charge of SGD3.00 per day. For instance, a 3D2N trip to Thailand would only cost a maximum of SGD9.
The launch of FlexiTravel Plus is part of Income Insurance’s ongoing commitment to closing protection gaps in Singapore by offering customer-centric options when customers go on short getaways to destinations in Asia.
FlexiTravel Plus covers:
Trip disruptions, travel delays and alterations; Overbooked public transport; Insolvency of agency; Loss of handphones and electronic devices due to robbery and snatch theft; Overseas medical expenses and emergency medical evacuation; Sports equipment such as golf clubs and surfboards (via opting for a rider).

Policyholders can access a doctor from Income Insurance’s appointed medical provider 24/7 via an overseas emergency hotline.
Income Insurance Vice President & Head, Key Accounts Management, Annie Chua commented: “Given their busy lifestyle, travellers may sometimes forget to purchase travel insurance. At the same time, some may not regard conventional travel protection as necessary, especially when going for a short getaway. We aim to bridge these gaps by offering travel insurance options tailored for modern travel patterns and prevalent concerns so that travellers mindfully close their protection gaps and enjoy peace of mind.”
“We are encouraged that more travellers see the importance of protecting themselves while they go on short trips, even a weekend getaway, as the take-up for FlexiTravel Hourly Insurance in 2024 tripled last year’s. This has motivated us to launch FlexiTravel Plus, the plus-sized version to protect short trips to 19 Asian destinations so that travellers have affordable and flexible travel protection options,” Chua added.
