Since decades, Canada and Hong Kong maintains a close as well as long standing trade and economic relationship. The socio-economic and trading relationship of Canada and Hong Kong can be traced back to 1928, when Canada formed its Consulate General in Hong Kong, in Exchange Building, on the Pedder Street. Indeed, Canada is regarded as one of the largest trading partners of Hong Kong. It is estimated that more than 150 Canadian businesses operate in Hong Kong, which includes firms specializing in information technology, construction and engineering, financial services, and insurance as well as intermediary services.

Apart from this, more than 450 Canadian business firms are represented by agents, distributors, and joint venture partners, which in turn have led to the formation of the largest Canadian overseas business community in Asia. Bank of Montreal, Crown Life Insurance, Air Canada, and Manulife, are just few among many of the leading as well as thriving Canadian business firms that conduct their business functions in Hong Kong. As per certain records, the turnover as a result of economic partnership between Hong Kong and Canada was C$5.6 billion in 2006. In short, it has been accounted that more than 2, 50,000 citizens from Canada happily reside and work in Hong Kong. In fact, with more than 1,200 members, the Hong Kong’s Canadian Chamber of Commerce is considered the largest outside Canada.

Reciprocally, many people from Hong Kong also live and conduct their businesses in Canada, especially in such Canadian areas as Vancouver, Toronto, and Richmond. The close as well as strong relationship of Hong Kong and Canadian cities, particularly Vancouver, has led to vivacious economic partnership between two nations. Both Hong Kong and British Columbia are considered the gateways. When Hong Kong serves as the gateway to Asia, Vancouver serves as the gateway for Asian business firms to have access to the trendy markets in the North America. The close relationship of Canada and Hong Kong is further substantiated by Canada’s supporting of the context developed by Hong Kong, ‘one country, two systems,’ which in turn is embodied in the basic law. In addition, the Fraser Institute, based in Vancouver, has consistently ranked Hong Kong as the world’s freest economy and that too for almost 13 years.

Hong Kong and Canada not only maintains a close relationship in economic as well as trading but also in schooling and education. For instance, according to certain records, one in five students from Hong Kong prefers to stay and study in Canada. Besides, many students from Canada also study in Hong Kong, whose evidence is the large number of Canadian international schools that operate in Hong Kong. This in turn has helped in strengthening the relationship between Hong Kong and Canadian people. Apart from schooling and education, Hong Kong and Canada also preserve a close relationship in sectors such as construction and food production areas.

Understanding the importance of the close relationship of Vancouver and Hong Kong, nowadays many airlines operate convenient as well as budget flights between Hong Kong and Vancouver. Of which, one of the prominent airlines is Oasis Hong Kong, which is considered the first to enter the budget airline sector. With six direct flights from Vancouver to Hong Kong a week, Oasis Hong Kong’s prime aim is to bridge the distance between Hong Kong and Canada, thereby enabling for enhanced tourism and trade as well as commerce between these two great amazing centers. Oasis Hong Kong operates flights to Hong Kong from both Vancouver and London in UK.

Almost all superb facilities are available while your travel from Vancouver to Hong Kong, such as, comfortable seats, personal seat back TVs, and two complimentary delicious meals, with a choice of Western or Asian styles.

High traffic is inevitable at private airports during popular events or holiday seasons (think Super Bowl or winter in Aspen). With that in mind, we have put together some information and helpful tips to ensure that your private jet travel to bustling airports is both relaxing and stress-free.

"What is an STMP?" Special Traffic Management Programs (STMP's) are implemented for special events that attract thousands of people and aircraft to participating airports. The FAA requires users to make arrival and departure reservations to and from these airports to manage the flow of arrivals and departures for these events.

"What is a slot time?" Slot times refer to airports expecting high traffic volume due to special events or seasonal activity. Slot times are issued to stagger incoming flight traffic in order to relieve air traffic control duties. Slot time reservations are typically available 72 hours prior to the estimated time of arrival.

Private Jet Travel Tips:
• Be flexible with your departure time requests. Allow a window for departure times. Slot times will not be assigned more than 72 hours in advance to the flight departure request.
• Avoid changing flight dates & times. Slot times are valuable and go quickly, so try to stick to your flight schedule to avoid conflicts.
• Arrive on time. Particularly in mountainous areas, weather can change rapidly. The closer you leave to your intended time, the better opportunity you have to guarantee your arrival time. So if your slot departure is 8am, please allow time for boarding so the jet will be ready and in position for an 8am departure.
