Hong Kong ‘flexible’ over age limit of payload specialist

However, ultimately it will remain the city’s decision.

A government official said Hong Kong may be flexible with the age limit in the country’s recruitment of payload specialists in Hong Kong.

According to the Secretary for Innovation, Technology & Industry Prof Sun Dong said that ultimately it is the city’s decision.

“Just now I spoke about the flexibility for the age. This time the country's requirement is that in principle the age should be from 30 to 45. That is why we said in terms of the age, we may have a little flexibility, but the final decision will be made by the country,” Dong said.

Dong also believes Hong Kong can utilise the opportunity to enhance its development of the aerospace ecosystem including aerospace education, research and industry development. 

“If we really have a good ecosystem, I am confident we will be able to attract a lot of experts from overseas to come to Hong Kong to develop their work.”
