国际航空货运枢纽港:以航空物流为新竞争优势

Global TransPark:New Competitiveness for Hong Kong and South China Based on Air Logistics

20世纪80年代以来,经济全球化促进了亚太地区的一些国家和地区的经济迅速增长,同时也带动了区内航空货运的发展。国际航空货运枢纽港(GTP:GlobalTransPark)是新经济背景下的一种新型货运机场,对提升区域竞争力有着重要的意义。我国有必要建设GTP,以期在21世纪电子商贸及高科技加工工业的发展上抢先建立滩头阵地。逐渐成熟的香港都会经济区有着“一国两制”的特殊地缘政治和制度优势,因而,在亚洲各竞争中的经济区域中,它是建设亚洲首个、也将是最大的GTP的最佳区位。GTP的建成运作可以提升该都会经济区的总体竞争力,加快其经济重构的步伐。结合区内的其它4个机场,珠海机场有条件发展成为GTP。然而,GTP的建设需要有关机场与地方政府间在关税、制空权、后勤服务以及水陆交通等方面进行协调,这将对该都会经济区的内部合作提出更新的挑战。

Economic globalization in the past two decades has led to a fast pace of growth of many economies in Asia Pacific and impacted on the region＇ s growth in air cargo. The paper discusses the future of airport infrastructure and its effect on regional competitiveness in the form of a new type of airport and a new type of air cargo hub - the Global TransPark （GTP）. It identifies Asia＇ s, especially China＇ s need, to forge such a critical infrastructure in the New Economy, and that South China is its best location. The Hong Kong Extended Metropolitan Region （EMR） in South China stands out among competitive regions in Asia in terms of geo-political and institutional setting under ＇One Country, Two Systems＇ as the best general location for Asia＇ s f＇trst and potentially largest GTP. Forging a GTP will promote the EMR＇ s overall competitiveness and hasten its economic restructuring. The paper then discusses the advantages of Zhuhai Airport as the site of the potential GTP, which will also incorporate the other four nearby airports within the EMR. The GTP is also a new challenge for intra-EMR cooperation in customs and tariff, air rights, ground handling, and land and water transport coordination between the respective local governments.
