Hong Kong has secured support from more than 50 organisations to develop common standards for the low-altitude economy, as the city seeks closer integration with the national strategy for the sector.The announcement was made on Thursday at a low-altitude economy forum attended by Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan.The low-altitude economy covers commercial activities involving drones and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.“No single city can establish a global standard alone,” Chan said. “That is why we are joining hands with all the stakeholders, with different cities, and our [Greater Bay Area] partners to proactively reach out to jurisdictions across the group that recognise the potential of [low-altitude economy] development.”She said Hong Kong’s common law system, internationally respected aviation expertise and status as an international financial and commercial hub made it ideal for real-world testing.Supporting organisations included mainland Chinese low-altitude economy and telecommunications firms such as AutoFlight, EHang Intelligent Equipment, China Telecom Global and China Unicom Innovation Research Institute.
