Hear From Our Pilot Stories
Albert Li, Captain / Ground Training Instructor
I am incredibly proud to be part of the HK Express team, where a culture of safety, professionalism, and collaboration creates an environment where pilots truly thrive.
Since joining in 2020, the airline has provided me with invaluable opportunities for professional growth. Serving as a Ground Training Instructor and participating in Line Orientation Safety Audits deepened my operational knowledge, while technical flight training abroad significantly enhanced my proficiency. In 2025, I achieved a major milestone by promoting to Captain. Throughout my command training, the company fully supported me in developing the vital soft skills and leadership mindset required to manage daily line operations.
Beyond career advancement, the most rewarding aspect of HK Express is our positive, welcoming community. Our team is composed of professionals from diverse backgrounds and nationalities. This diversity brings fresh perspectives to our daily interactions, fostering a strong sense of unity and mutual support that makes every day rewarding.
