Hong Kong Airlines launches flights to Australia’s Gold Coast for Lunar New Year
As one of Australia’s most iconic tourist destinations, Queensland’s Gold Coast has long been a magnet for travellers from Asia seeking out some winter sunshine. Recently, Hong Kong Airlines resumed its services to the Gold Coast in time for the Lunar New Year holidays, the first local carrier to reinstate this highly popular route.
Passengers on the inaugural Hong Kong Airlines services were treated to colourful celebrations twice – once when boarding in Hong Kong and again on arrival in Australia at the Gold Coast Airport (OOL). The resumed service will operate four times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from Hong Kong, with return flights from the Gold Coast the following day.

India, Singapore looking at setting up corridor for renewable energy
Singapore’s President Tharman Shanmugaratnam announced that India and Singapore are considering establishing a “renewable energy corridor” and strengthening cooperation in key sectors such as advanced manufacturing and semiconductors.
During his inaugural visit to India as President, Shanmugaratnam also revealed plans to develop a “data corridor” between Gujarat’s GIFT City and Singapore, to enable financial institutions in both nations to securely and reliably exchange data.
On a five-day visit to India, the Singaporean President held separate discussions with President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, focusing on broadening bilateral relations across various domains. Shanmugaratnam noted that Singapore and India are now on a “new trajectory” of collaboration following the elevation of ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Singapore in September of the previous year.
