The reporter learned from the official websites of two Hong Kong airlines that starting from the 17th, Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Airlines have launched promotional activities for mainland passengers to and from Hong Kong, winning 83000 tickets and "buy one get one free" tickets for free lottery draws. Cathay Pacific announced that eligible mainland residents can register between the 17th and 23rd and win 83000 single round-trip economy class tickets from terminals in 14 mainland cities to Hong Kong. In terms of Hong Kong Airlines, mainland passengers can obtain some discounts on round-trip air tickets from the mainland to Hong Kong through online travel service platforms such as Ctrip starting from the 17th, using the "buy one get one free" method. This is the first batch of tickets presented to mainland passengers by the Airport Authority Hong Kong (HKAA) "Flying Encounter the World Award" ticket gift program. This plan was launched by the AA in response to the Hong Kong SAR government's large-scale global promotional campaign "Hello Hong Kong!" on March 1st, and was the first to be launched for the Southeast Asian market. In a recent promotion event held in Shanghai, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Aircraft Authority, Lin Tianfu, introduced that Hong Kong International Airport fully sponsors several base airlines in Hong Kong, giving over 500000 tickets to passengers worldwide, with a total of approximately 140000 tickets reserved for mainland passengers.
