    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.

    Plans to import more non-local care home workers / Safety around schools

    Presenters:Andrew Work and Ada Wong

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about proposals to import more care home workers.

    The government has suggested increasing the quota by 8,000 to 15,000 within the next three years, citing an ageing population and a labour shortage.
    If approved, the plan would see the non-local workers arriving in batches, with an extra 3,000 in the first year, another 3,000 in the second year, and 2,000 more in the third year.
    This gradual approach is designed to prioritise the employment of local staff, but unions are worried that it could open a "Pandora's Box" and have an impact the territory's local workforce if expanded further.
    After 9:45, we'll talk discuss calls to install more CCTV cameras near schools following a kidnapping case.
