The CAD was also responsible for managing the former Hong Kong International Airport at Kai Tak, until it was retired and replaced by the new Hong Kong International Airport managed by the Airport Authority. The Accident Investigation Division of the CAD investigates aviation accidents and incidents. During British rule, CAD was not a sub-unit of the Civil Aviation Authority (United Kingdom). Since 1997, CAD maintains independence from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, although the CAAC has authority over the airspace within Hong Kong. |
