    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.

    US Presidential Election race / Streamlined airport security process

    主持人:Danny Gittings and Paul Zimmerman

    On Friday's Backchat, we're talking about the US Presidential elections.

    Incumbent US president Joe Biden and predecessor Donald Trump are set to take to the stage for a 90-minute Presidential debate in a face-off expected to test both candidates' oratory skills — with age once again in the spotlight.
    The two presumptive party nominees are expected to clash on a range of contentious issues, from abortion and immigration to trade and foreign policy. Mr Trump's criminal conviction for falsifying business records could be a major talking point of this year's televised debate, while Mr Biden may be challenged on his son's drug use and gun conviction.
    Are the two candidates fit for office? Which one would you choose if you had a vote? Tell us what you think.
    After 9:50, we learn more about the airport's new security upgrades, which will no longer require passengers to unpack their carry-on luggage.
