The Government Flying Service is one of Hong Kong's disciplined services, providing round-the-clock emergency search and rescue, air ambulance, firefighting, aerial survey and general flying support to the public and government departments. It also responds during typhoons, mountain rescues and maritime incidents, and collects weather and radiation data in support of the Hong Kong Observatory. Based at Chek Lap Kok and equipped with fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, the service holds the HKAR-21 Design Organisation Approval, enabling it to design and modify aircraft components. The Controller heads the department and reports to the Secretary for Security. The Government Flying Service evolved from the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force and was formed on 1 April 1993. Based at Chek Lap Kok and equipped with helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, it serves Hong Kong and adjacent waters, providing not only emergency rescue but also aerial survey, photography and transport support to government departments throughout the year. As Controller, Captain Liu is responsible for maintaining high standards of flight safety, aircraft maintenance and pilot training, and for co-ordinating flying operations with the Security Bureau, the Hospital Authority and other departments. Its fleet includes Airbus H175 helicopters for search and rescue and Bombardier Challenger 605 fixed-wing aircraft for long-range search, which guide the helicopters to the scene.
