Sino Jet's Subsidiary Zhejiang Low-Altitude Mobility Company Completes Inaugural Flight

HONG KONG, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, a helicopter took off from ONE53, the landmark at the heart of Hangzhou's Qianjiang New City, and landed smoothly at the Fuchun Resort approximately 10 minutes later. This marks the successful completion of the inaugural flight by Sino Jet's Zhejiang Low-Altitude Mobility Company, signifying that the Group's strategic deployment in the low-altitude economy has progressed from qualification preparation to the stage of substantive operations. Strategic Positioning: Low-Altitude Economy Moves from Policy Tailwinds to Commercial Implementation Since the "low-altitude economy" was first written into China's Government Work Report in 2024 and designated as a strategic emerging industry, supportive policies have been rolled out across multiple regions in China, creating historic growth opportunities for the sector. Against this backdrop, what ultimately determines how far an enterprise can go is not merely the policy tailwinds themselves, but whether it has the capability to translate these opportunities into a sustainable commercial model. The successful inaugural low-altitude flight by Sino Jet serves as a compelling validation of this proposition. As the largest business aviation company in the Asia-Pacific region, Sino Jet holds the highest global safety standard certification in business aviation—IS-BAO Stage 3. The company operates a fleet of nearly 50 aircraft, with a service network spanning worldwide. The newly launched Zhejiang Low-Altitude Mobility Company represents a strategic extension of Sino Jet's 15 years of expertise in premium aviation operations, systematically applying its operational experience and safety standards to the low-altitude mobility sector. In January 2026, the company was officially granted the CCAR Part 135 Air Operator Certificate and Operating License by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), becoming the first general aviation enterprise in East China to complete the joint certification process. These qualifications represent not only the regulatory threshold for conducting commercial passenger operations, but also serve as a strong endorsement of Sino Jet's core capabilities in building competitive barriers within the low-altitude economy sector. Scenario Definition: Shaping Product Direction Around the Needs of High-End Clientele As the low-altitude economy moves from concept to practical implementation, the market's imagination for low-altitude mobility continues to expand. The inaugural "ONE53–Fuchun Resort" route operated by Sino Jet is specifically designed to address the core demand of high-net-worth individuals for efficient travel in real-world use cases. The journey, which previously required approximately 90 minutes by road, can now be completed in just 10 minutes by air. This route, connecting the urban core of Hangzhou with a high-end resort destination, truly enables efficient and seamless connectivity between the two locations. This "scenario-driven product definition" approach stems from Sino Jet's 15 years of experience in business aviation. Time efficiency and service excellence have always been the core priorities of high-end clientele. Extending these principles into the low-altitude mobility sector means establishing a user-value-centered commercialization pathway from the outset—responding to diverse needs across different scenarios, whether for sightseeing experiences or time-sensitive travel. Industrial Depth: Empowering the Low-Altitude Economy with Business Aviation Expertise The true challenge of the low-altitude economy lies not merely in getting aircraft off the ground, but in ensuring operations that are safe, efficient, and sustainable. This is precisely where Sino Jet's core strengths come into play. Building on 15 years of global operational experience, Sino Jet has established a safety management system aligned with international standards, along with robust asset management capabilities and a digitalized service network. Anchored in this long-term, rigorously validated framework, the company is now providing a replicable management model for the low-altitude mobility sector—from crew qualification standards and operational control procedures to customer service touchpoints and emergency response capabilities across the entire operational chain. In terms of capacity planning, Sino Jet signed a firm purchase agreement in 2025 with Aerofugia for 50 AE200 electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, representing the largest publicly disclosed firm commercial eVTOL order in China to date. This forward-looking deployment lays a solid capacity foundation for the Group's future scaled operations in the urban air mobility sector. Future Vision: Building an Integrated Three-Dimensional Mobility Network Looking ahead, Sino Jet plans to replicate its proven three-dimensional mobility model across key cities in central and western China, the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Hainan Free Trade Port. By integrating operational base resources across China, the Group aims to develop diversified low-altitude mobility scenarios tailored to different regional needs. The strategic objective is clear: to bridge the "last 100 kilometers" of three-dimensional mobility and establish a low-altitude transportation network connecting China's major urban clusters—making low-altitude travel a new norm for premium mobility. As the low-altitude economy evolves from a policy buzzword into tangible industrial reality, Sino Jet has chosen a path anchored in safety, guided by client demand, and driven by sound commercial logic. The success of this inaugural flight stands as a testament to that strategic vision.

In addition, the CLINCH study of ATG-022 includes a basket trial cohort evaluating multiple tumor types, with the majority of patients continuing to receive treatment. ATG-037 (Oral CD73 Small Molecule Inhibitor) Data from the Phase Ib/II STAMINA study: Following the initiation of a global clinical collaboration with MSD, Antengene is evaluating ATG-037 in combination with the anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in patients with checkpoint inhibitor (CPI)-resistant melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These findings suggest that ATG-037 has clinically meaningful therapeutic potential in multiple tumor types, particularly in patients who are CPI-resistant (for detailed data, please refer to the Company's press release issued in November 2025 at https://www.antengene.com/newsinfo/452). The Company expects to release the latest clinical data of ATG-037 in the fourth quarter of 2026. Clinical development pathways: existing data show that ATG-037 holds enormous therapeutic potential for the treatment of first-line or CPI-resistant melanoma, with promising potential for expansion into other tumor types. Antengene's clinical development roadmap for ATG-037 has four main components: 1. combination with CPI for the treatment of CPI-resistant unresectable and metastatic melanoma (second-line treatment); 2. combination with CPI for the first-line treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma; 3. combination with CPI for the treatment of CPI-resistant unresectable or metastatic NSCLC (second-line treatment); 4. active expansion into other CPI-resistant tumor types supported by the encouraging proof-of-concept data; 5. explore potential combinations with next-generation CPIs such as PD-1×VEGF bispecific antibody. Combination with PD-1/VEGF Bispecific Antibody: Antengene has entered into a clinical collaboration agreement with Junshi Biosciences to evaluate the synergistic therapeutic potential of Antengene's ATG-037 in combination with Junshi Biosciences' JS207, a recombinant humanized anti-PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, in patients with solid tumors in Mainland of China. The combination therapy of ATG-037 and JS207 may constitute a potential "triple-axis" strategy. With the potential to deepen responses while maintaining a favorable safety profile, the combination of ATG-037 with JS207 may further improve the durability of benefit and may translate into improved overall survival (OS). 3.

Manulife Named "Asia's Best Insurance Provider for Wealth Management" by Euromoney

HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Manulife today announced it has been named "Asia's Best Insurance Provider for Wealth Management" at the 2026 Euromoney Private Banking Awards. The award recognizes Manulife's excellence in delivering tailored and innovative wealth and legacy planning solutions to High-Net-Worth (HNW) individuals and families across the region. The win reflects the company's strong growth momentum, innovative product suite, unmatched cross-border service capabilities, and deep relationships with its distribution partners. It comes as demand for HNW wealth planning services continues to grow across the region. According to McKinsey analysis, an estimated US$5.8 trillion in assets is projected to transfer between generations across Asia-Pacific by 2030*, while regional financial wealth is expanding at approximately 9% CAGR through 2029#. This growth is being driven in part by a rising segment of global Asian citizens—internationally mobile families managing assets across multiple jurisdictions—who require cross-border insurance and legacy planning solutions at scale. "We are honoured to be recognized by Euromoney as Asia's leading life insurance provider for Wealth Management. This award reflects our continued commitment to meeting the unique needs of our HNW clients and partners. As intergenerational wealth transfer accelerates, we see a new generation of clients—today's global Asian citizens—who prioritize flexibility, geographic diversification, and holistic solutions that combine wealth planning with health and longevity. Our strategy is built to meet these exact needs, leveraging our multi-hub platform and omni-channel distribution to deliver best-in-class solutions that help our clients protect their legacy and secure their future across borders and generations." — Bonnie Qiu, CEO, Global High-Net-Worth, Manulife During the award assessment period, Manulife achieved high double-digit sales growth in business generated from private banks and international brokers serving HNW clients in Asia. Manulife's success is underpinned by a comprehensive product proposition and policy structuring expertise, as well as strong underwriting capacity backed by its strong relationships with re-insurers. In June 2025, Manulife was ranked first in the life insurance sector for artificial intelligence (AI) maturity in the inaugural Evident AI Index for Insurance, ranking in the top five across the insurance industry overall. Applied directly to its HNW business, Manulife has embedded generative AI into the HNW underwriting process, significantly reducing turnaround times for large and complex cases. Manulife's HNW strategy integrates its four hubs—Hong Kong, Singapore, Bermuda, and Dubai—to provide seamless multi-jurisdictional access and specialist local execution for globally mobile families. "As HNW clients' needs in Hong Kong become increasingly sophisticated, our role has evolved beyond product provision. As a leading international financial centre, Hong Kong continues to attract HNW families with complex wealth and legacy planning needs. By bringing together our diversified distribution model, bespoke innovative solutions, and strong underwriting capabilities—supported by our Private Client Wealth Planning team—we are able to provide integrated guidance on complex matters such as trust and legacy structuring. We are uniquely positioned to help globally mobile families protect and grow their wealth across generations." — Patrick Graham, CEO, Manulife Hong Kong & Macau The business also saw strong momentum in Singapore, another key pillar of its regional HNW strategy. "Singapore's reputation as a secure and stable wealth hub continues to attract HNW families with increasingly complex needs, and they require an insurer with proven capabilities. Our recent issuance of a landmark US$300 million policy demonstrates the market's confidence in our financial strength and deep technical expertise. It underscores our ability to structure and underwrite large, sophisticated cases, while helping high net worth families address their wealth and legacy priorities with tailored, well structured solutions." — Benoit Meslet, CEO, Manulife Singapore Looking ahead, Manulife plans to continue its investment in the HNW segment by expanding its service capabilities across the region, driving ongoing product innovation with a focus on flexibility and liquidity, and further building out its health and longevity ecosystem.

Global e-commerce and brand experts explore growth opportunities HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse successfully concluded at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The premier annual e-commerce and brand marketing events drew a vibrant crowd of more than 1,700 industry professionals from 22 countries and regions, who gathered in Hong Kong to navigate the ever-evolving marketing landscape and redefine the blueprint for business growth. Driving brand evolution through innovation Welcoming delegates to the conferences, Sophia Chong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: "Rapid advances in digital technologies are allowing e-commerce to reshape the market landscape, transforming how businesses reach consumers, transact and scale. From AI-driven personalisation to social commerce, the pace of change is unprecedented, and with this change comes significant opportunity. The theme for this year's events, "Generate New Growth", challenges us to seize these opportunities by exploring how fresh ideas, new technologies and bold strategies can power the next wave of momentum." E-commerce experts unpack the latest AI trends This year's MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse staged 30 thematic sessions, with a comprehensive agenda exploring topics including "Growth leaders", "E-commerce new horizons", "Cutting edge marketing dynamics/new market potential", " Social media best practices", the "Meet the celebrity dialogue series", and "PR disasters and opportunities", complemented by a series of digital marketing and e-commerce workshops. More than 85 esteemed e-commerce pioneers, brand leaders, marketing experts and innovative entrepreneurs from around the globe were invited to dissect the latest e-commerce innovations, global marketing trends and consumer opportunities, exploring how to cultivate new growth in a rapidly shifting marketing ecosystem. When discussing the development and outlook for e-commerce, multiple industry experts at the conferences highlighted the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) applications and its latest trends. Terry Li, Vertical General Manager of Smart Retail, Tencent, noted that "AI is redefining digital commerce, and integrating AI into enterprise architecture properly is key to success. It will not destroy creativity; instead, it can inspire creativity and enable personalised customer experiences." Bruce Pan, Cross-border Industry Operations Manager of TikTok Shop US, added that the real competitive edge will lie not in generating more content faster, but in combining creative direction, understanding the competitive edges of products and emotional storytelling. Quick commerce charts a new course for e-commerce Today's consumers have an insatiable appetite for convenience and personalisation, compelling brands to accelerate the transformation of their e-marketing strategies. Precision data and AI are fundamentally rewiring consumer experiences. Patrick Zhang, Senior BD Manager of Amazon Global Selling, pointed out that the next phase of globalisation will be defined by how quickly and accurately brands can understand local consumer needs and translate data insights into high-quality growth. Yatong Qiu, Vice President of Taobao & Tmall Group, Alibaba, highlighted how brands and merchants can deploy agile merchandising strategies, real-time digital marketing and speed-oriented approaches to upgrade supply chains and streamline order fulfilment, catering to the modern consumer's desire for "everything, instantly". And the "Decoding the Gateway to ASEAN: Cross Border Growth and Market Entry Strategies" session explored tactics for entering the ASEAN market. Speakers including Luca Barni, SVP, Commercial at Lazada Group, shared battle-tested experiences, providing a practical compass for enterprises eyeing ASEAN e-tailing expansion. Visionary insights from distinguished brand leaders As the consumer market pivots towards experience-driven models, "taste" and "perception" have become the ultimate battlegrounds for brand competitiveness. Brands are no longer merely delivering product value; they are curating a lifestyle. The "Growth leaders" series at MarketingPulse was inaugurated by Pauline Brown, former Chairman of LVMH North America, who delivered a presentation address on "Aesthetic Intelligence", illustrating how sensory management and design thinking can elevate brand value and customer experience. "Economic inequality, environmental threats, and the rise of AI make the pursuit of aesthetic intelligence more important than ever," Ms Brown said. "While AI enhances efficiency, consumers care about brands creating authentic sensory pleasure. Only people can truly convey a clear, well-articulated vision that resonates with customers." Haijun Wang, Founder, Chief Executive Officer & Chief Experience Officer of Atour Lifestyle Holdings, shared his philosophy on weaving lifestyle experiences into hotel and lifestyle brand management. By extending the "accommodation experience" into new retail, he demonstrated how to forge brand identity through lifestyle sensibilities and customer resonance. Mr Wang believes that when both service and space strike an emotional chord, the resulting customer loyalty offers an enduring competitive edge. "In the experience economy, emotional value and authentic customer advocacy are becoming more important, making experience not only a point of differentiation, but also a source of sustainable brand growth and long-term development potential," he said. As younger generations emerge as the dominant consumer force, the dynamic between brands and youth demographics is being entirely redefined. JinHee Lee, Chief Operating Officer of South Korea's Olive Young, shared the brand's triumphant journey from local flagship to a global powerhouse. He showcased how this Korean beauty titan leverages seamless omnichannel operations and data-driven marketing strategies, using technology as a compass to build international competitiveness. "In order for a beauty brand to go global, it's essential to develop a marketing platform that combines digital promotion and offline data," he explained. "By integrating physical stores with online apps, we have built a seamless omnichannel ecosystem that continuously adapts to our customers' lifestyles and needs. providing real time updates on product stock and promotions." Crafting an immersive and unforgettable shopping experience to amplify marketing efficacy and fortify long-term brand influence has always been the golden rule for major international brands. Krzysztof Andrzej Kowal, Global Retail Design Director at YSL Beauty, L'Oréal Luxe, took the stage in the session "The Poetics of Branding: Weaving Story, Design, and Emotion into Iconic Narratives". He shared how to transform physical retail spaces into the ultimate storytelling canvas through the alchemy of "Design × Story × Emotion". He said that to build emotional connections with customers, "physical stores should transcend showcase roles to become temples of experience and content factories that generate authentic and multi-sensory moments. By blending current trends like Y2K and nostalgia, we build up our persona based on new trends while maintaining our brand culture. At the same time, we maintain a cohesive global identity while adapting to local cultures." Creative social content ignites brand resonance In an era saturated with content and dictated by algorithms, brands and creators must rebuild emotional bridges through authenticity and the power of storytelling. This year's conferences approached the subject through the lenses of film, television, social media and content creation, exploring how culturally resonant content can captivate audiences and amplify brand value. Actor and "Threads Admin" Ng Siu-hin joined forces with Kenie Kwok, Creative Strategy Lead at Meta, in the dialogue "Threads for Consumer and Audience Engagement", comprehensively decoding the "traffic matrix" for the platform. Continuing the creative thread, the "Meet the celebrity dialogue series" invited actor and singer-songwriter Louis Cheung to share his creative odyssey and breakthrough moments. Spanning music to on-screen performances, Louis underscored the importance of staying true to one's original aspirations and authentic expression, inspiring brands and creators to co-create content with genuine warmth. Meanwhile, content creator and MUSE TV founder Mayao shared his ingenious use of disruptive social media promotional tactics to market music and content, leaving an indelible mark on the public consciousness. As AI permeates every aspect of the marketing and design sectors, creative thinking faces an unprecedented paradigm shift. Award-winning creative minds, including Stephen Rogers, Group Creative Director at Droga5 from Ireland, explored this dynamic in the session "Creativity & AI: Human vs Artificial Mind". The speakers revealed that human imagination and intelligent technology are engaged in a symbiotic dance rather than a zero-sum game, with industry pioneers sharing how to masterfully navigate the shifting boundaries between human intuition and AI. Practical insights and business matchmaking foster cross-sector synergy Beyond the main forums and InnoTalks series, the events introduced a new feature, "e-Commerce Connect", that brought together nearly 30 local and international exhibitors to showcase the latest one-stop e-commerce solutions. A series of digital marketing and e-tailing workshops was also held, at which industry experts imparted strategies for AI integration, cross-border market navigation, and brand influence elevation, arming participating brands with actionable intelligence. The organiser curated multiple networking events and arranged more than 170 one-on-one business matchmaking sessions for attendees and exhibitors.

Professor Chun-Hung Chu: "Protecting Oral Health Is Protecting Quality of Life"

World Oral Health Day 2026:"A Happy Mouth Is… A Happy Life" HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A healthy mouth is the foundation of overall well-being and plays an important role in enhancing quality of life. This year, World Oral Health Day is celebrated under the theme "A Happy Mouth Is… A Happy Life." In support of this global initiative, Mars, Incorporated—through its Extra® Oral Healthcare Program—joins hands with Professor Chun-Hung Chu, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at The University of Hong Kong, to encourage Hong Kong residents to maintain good daily oral care habits while enjoying food, so that a healthy smile can become part of a happy life[1]. Professor Chu pointed out that daily dietary habits play a significant role in oral health. According to the 2025–2030 U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans and recommendations from the American Dental Association (ADA), fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, dairy products, and tea can help stimulate saliva flow, naturally cleanse teeth, and maintain enamel health[2]. In contrast, refined starchy foods that tend to remain between teeth and sugary beverages may increase plaque accumulation and the risk of acid erosion. In addition, alcohol and certain medications may cause dry mouth, reducing the natural protective function of saliva. Professor Chu further noted that dental caries have a profound impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL)[3]. He encourages the public to follow four key oral care habits: Check, Brush, Floss, and Chew. This includes regular dental check-ups, brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between teeth with dental floss, and chewing sugar-free chewing gum or using fluoride mouthwash after meals. For people with busy urban lifestyles, Professor Chu suggests chewing sugar-free chewing gum as a simple addition to daily oral care. Research shows it can stimulate saliva flow, help neutralize acids, and reduce plaque accumulation[4][5], while systematic reviews indicate that it may reduce the incidence of dental caries by approximately 28%[6]. In addition, its role in caries prevention has been recognized by the FDI World Dental Federation.
