Who concludes air service agreements that include stops at the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region?

The conclusion of air service agreements that include stops at the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) is the responsibility of the Central People's Government. This is based on the structure of authority and governance outlined in the Basic Law of Hong Kong. The Central People's Government is the authority that manages foreign affairs and defense matters for Hong Kong, and this includes the negotiation and conclusion of air service agreements.

In the context of the agreements, these arrangements ensure that air transport can be facilitated and regulated effectively between Hong Kong and other territories, reflecting both the autonomy of Hong Kong under the "One Country, Two Systems" principle and the overarching legal framework established by the Central People's Government.

While organizations like the United Nations, International Air Transport Association, and International Chamber of Commerce play roles in international relations and transport industries, they do not have the authority to conclude air service agreements on behalf of Hong Kong or any Special Administrative Region. Instead, such agreements are a matter of national governance and are handled through the appropriate governmental channels.
