International airlines are scrambling to add more flights to Hong Kong as the city ends two and a half years of quarantine measures, leading to a surge in demand for travel.

The new measures took effect Monday. Now, instead of having to isolate in a hotel room at their own expense for three nights, tourists and business travelers can return home or to other accommodation, as long as they monitor their health for three days, including taking rapid Covid tests. Airlines are seeing a huge surge in interest as a result. Cathay Pacific\n \n , the city’s flag carrier, has set up a virtual “waiting room” to get onto its website.

Kam Hung Ng, assistant professor of aviation engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He told CNN Business that Hong Kong still had advantages that could allow its aviation industry to recover to pre-pandemic levels, “or even more.” Hong Kong’s location allows it to serve as an international transit and logistics gateway for many Asian destinations, as well as mainland China.
