Hong Kong bound jets diverted

The Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department’s (CAD) online booking system for private aircraft takeoff and landing times malfunctioned causing chaos and diverting several business and private jets to airports in Macau, Zhuhai and Shenzhen.
Traffic to the CAD booking system has since eased, but technical glitches have already prevented potential bookings.
Although there is a 75 percent chance of success for each time slot booking, private jet operators have always faced constraints when applying for time slots in Hong Kong International Airport.
Sing Tao Daily reported that several different factors contributed to this phenomenon. Industry insiders suspect the deliberate occupation of time slots for resale, and that some operators have also tried to secure multiple slots for later use.
