FLIGHT INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS JOINING THE G.C.G – TRADE DELEGATION FOR THE FIRST PHASE OF THE TRADE FAIR. 

The G.C.G trade delegation will arrive in Dubai on TUESDAY 15TH OCTOBER 2002 at 12:30 a.m. The connecting flight for Hong-Kong is on the same day, at 02.55 a.m.

The delegation will be flying to Hong-Kong by EMIRATES FLIGHT NO. EK380 scheduled to arrive in Hong-Kong at 14:50 HRS (Hong-Kong local time) and not at 12:30 p.m. as mentioned in our previous circular. 

We understand that the last train going to Canton is at 15:30 hrs (Hong-Kong time) in that case, after clearing from the airport, we shall hire a bus from the airport and proceed to Canton. 

As a precaution, those participants flying directly to Hong-Kong using different airlines and due to some reason, fail to meet the G.C.G trade delegation at the airport, are advised to take the following measures, as we understand that there is no train, going to Canton after 15:30 hrs. 

Ø      On the same day, from Dubai, there is another EMIRATES AIRLINE flying to Hong-Kong via Bangkok (FLIGHT NO. EK-382) scheduled to arrive in Hong-Kong at 17:30 (Hong-Kong local time). We wish to inform participants flying EK-382, that by the time they clear from the airport it will be around 19:30 hrs (Hong Kong time) and might not be able to get appropriate transportation facilities to reach Canton the same day. Therefore, we advise that they spend that night in Hong-Kong and proceed to Canton the following day (i.e. Wednesday 16th October 2002.)
