    Hong Kong airport development plans / Discussion with a local doctor back from Gaza

    On today's Backchat, we're talking about developments at the airport.

    In its annual report, the Airport Authority revealed that passenger traffic had reached 80 percent of pre-pandemic levels, with full recovery expected by the end of this year.
    The numbers come as the three-runway system is poised to be commissioned around the same time, while the main terminal will be integrated with SKYCITY and Tung Chung through an autonomous transport system poised to start in 2028.
    But despite the encouraging figures, it isn't all plain sailing. Speaking to local media, the authority's acting CEO Vivian Cheung warned that Russian airspace restrictions remained a hindrance, as Western carriers are banned from flying over Russia owing to sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine, leading to greater fuel costs.
    How well is the airport's recovery proceeding? Is Hong Kong keeping up with the competition? How much of an impact do geopolitical conflicts have? We'll talk to the experts.
    After 9:45, we speak to a doctor who just came back from Gaza.

    Financial support for cancer patients / Deadly factory fire in South Korea

    Presenters:Jenny Lam and Paul Zimmerman

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about support for breast cancer patients.

    The Breast Cancer Foundation has just launched a new care programme that will see breast cancer patients refunded HK$38,000 if a special test concludes that they need to continue their chemotherapy.
    This comes after patients' rights groups called on authorities to help alleviate the financial burden of cancer treatments on the grassroots.
