"On the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of AsiaSat, I wish to express my warmest congratulations on behalf of the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT). This is a remarkable milestone to celebrate your journey of service excellence to the industry. As an Affiliate Member of the APT, AsiaSat has been active in its cooperation and contribution to the work of the APT particularly in the area of satellite communication. We wish AsiaSat even greater success in the years to come and look forward to our growing collaboration." — Areewan Haorangsi, Secretary General

"About 30 years ago, I witnessed the start of the first private satellite company in Asia and I have always been honoured to be one of the engineering team members contributing to the founding success.  This is AsiaSat which has gone through the many stages of success development since the procurement of AsiaSat 1 to the latest AsiaSat 9 operating in orbit.   In any industry today, there are inevitable disruptive changes that create opportunities and threats to any organization.  However, I feel certain that AsiaSat has brought me many valuable and stable friendships that built over the past years.  These are friendships with some of those who still work for the company, many ex-colleagues who have left the company, ex-colleagues who have retired,  and also with many friends from all parts of the world who have a strong passion working in the satellite industry.  I am very grateful to AsiaSat that brought me these friendships. This is not just a corporate anniversary, it’s an anniversary of many non-forgettable friendships that only grew stronger every year.  I wish AsiaSat many more years of unparallel success and congratulations on this special day. Happy 30th anniversary!" — AsiaSat Staff (1988-1992), Presently SVP Technology, PCCW Global Photo caption: (Second from the right) Henry, with colleagues from Engineering and Operations Dept. of AsiaSat during AsiaSat 1 launch live broadcast at HKCEC on 7 Apr 1990

On this remarkable event, I wish your company further growth, development, success, and confidence for the future! Happy anniversary!" — Rashad Nabiyev, Chairman of the Board of Azercosmos

"AsiaSat 4 was the fourth of four satellites being built by Boeing (Hughes) Satellite and the third satellite to be launched by International Launch Services.   The satellite was prepared to launch, and the date would have been 10 April (USA) / 11 April (HK), however weather delayed the launch until 11 April (USA) / 12 April (HK). AsiaSat presented ILS a Jade Ram (Sheep) statue to commemorate the successful launch of AsiaSat 4, which was prominently displayed as part of a long history of launching satellites for AsiaSat. This was the start of my wonderful experience working with AsiaSat and will always hold fond memories of the people (present and past) on the various projects. I wish to express my sincere gratitude in developing my career to Dr. Ya Chiu, Peter Jackson, Bill Wade, Sabrina Cubbon, Roger Tong, Fred Ho, Fred Vong, Sue Yeung, Catherine Chang and many, many more at AsiaSat.  I will always try to use those lessons for every aspect of my future. Wish continued success to everyone at AsiaSat." Photo Caption: The Ram was the gift AsiaSat presented to ILS to celebrate AsiaSat 4’s successful launch in 2003, Year of the RAM
