Hong Kong is scheduled to start rolling out its Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) program in the third quarter of 2024. To allow time for airlines and general aviation operators to connect to the APIS and to ensure the smooth and orderly running of the system, a transitional period of about 12 months will be adopted, during which the application of offenses and penalties from non-compliance with the requirements will be suspended. However, according to business aviation flight planning organization OpsGroup, general aviation operators will have to start using the system on April 1, 2025.
