Hong Kong’s largest non-franchised bus group hopes its pioneering order of 30 passenger drones costing more than HK$70mil (RM39.67mil or US$9mil) can provide luxury tours above the city’s skyline in three years, calling on the government to speed up the regulatory work to create the low-altitude economy.

In an interview with the Post, Rex Wong Yat-hung, managing director of Kwoon Chung Smart Mobility, a subsidiary of Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings, said the company aimed to provide tours lasting about 30 minutes via the pilotless aircraft around Hong Kong in areas such as Disneyland, Ocean Park, Cyberport, Lantau Island and Sai Kung.
