Hong Kong authorities are taking steps to reopen the airport runway where a cargo aircraft crashed on Monday, though it will remain on standby until all wreckage is cleared. The Boeing 747, operated by Turkey-based ACT Airlines and leased by Emirates, skidded off the runway during landing, colliding with a patrol car and plunging both into the sea. Tragically, two airport workers in the car lost their lives, while the four crew members on the plane escaped unharmed. Steven Yiu, the executive director for airport operations, confirmed that repairs to the runway and fencing have been completed, and initial evidence has been collected. However, the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder remain unrecovered. The runway will be available for emergency landings but excluded from regular flight schedules until the debris is fully cleared. Authorities are coordinating with barge companies for the removal, though Tropical Storm Fengshen has delayed operations. Investigators are examining weather, mechanical, and human factors to determine the cause of the crash. This incident marks the second fatal crash for ACT Airlines, following a 2017 tragedy in Kyrgyzstan that claimed 39 lives.
