Hong Kong Airlines expands intermodal services

Hong Kong Airlines has introduced an enhanced version of the “Leisure Pass” to further expand travel options for passengers. This upgrade connects the Hong Kong International Airport with seven major ferry ports and one cross-border control point in the Greater Bay Area, including Shenzhen Shekou, Shenzhen Fuyong (Shenzhen Airport), Guangzhou Lianhuashan, Guangzhou Nansha, Zhongshan, Dongguan Humen, and the Zhuhai Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB). The “Leisure Pass” codeshare service radiates throughout the entire Greater Bay Area from the Hong Kong International Airport to provide fast and convenient sea-to-air, air-to-sea, bridge-to-air and air-to-bridge transfer services for cross-border travellers in the region. The service minimises travel time, with ferry journeys taking less than two hours between the ports covered by the service and Hong Kong International Airport’s SkyPier. The newly added HZMB Zhuhai Port also offers more flexible land border crossing options. Leisure Pass holders are exempted from the Hong Kong International Airport Air Passenger Departure Tax (APDT) and can enjoy one-stop check-in and baggage check-through services at their departing ferry or land ports in the Greater Bay Area before boarding the high-speed ferries or cross-border buses to Hong Kong International Airport’s SkyPier. They can then directly step onboard Hong Kong Airlines flights and enjoy the journey to their final destinations, without needing to undergo additional immigration and customs clearances, or check-in procedures at the airport terminal.
