Hong Kong International Airport has established another intermodal transfer connection for passengers from the Greater Bay Area (GBA).
‘Park & Fly’ is open to passengers driving qualified vehicles from Guangdong Province and Macao.
Air passengers from the GBA can drive their own vehicles over the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) directly to the ‘Park & Fly’ car park adjacent to HKIA, leave them to the automated system without the need to clear Hong Kong border controls.
Departure passengers will take a bonded bus directly to the airport’s restricted area for boarding.
The bonded bus will also take arrival passengers from the restricted area to the car park to retrieve their vehicles.
Pre-booking is required via a one-stop online platform operated by Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK).
Fred Lam, chairman of AAHK, said, “Park & Fly signifies our commitment to the GBA market and regional integration. In addition to cross-boundary high-speed ferries, buses and high-speed rail, ‘Park & Fly’ provides another option for travellers from Guangdong and Macao that brings the airport right to their doorsteps.”
Mable Chan, Hong Kong government secretary for transport and logistics, said the new airport connection expresses even more comprehensively the value of HZMB as a ‘Bridge of Unity’.
“The ‘Park & Fly’ automated car park is a key supporting facility for the ‘Southbound Travel Scheme’ policy and represents its first major milestone.
“One bridge, two-way connectivity, benefitting numerous industries and creating limitless opportunities – the journey begins today,” Chan said.
