At 11 a.m. on December 13, the first batch of outbound passengers "flying through Zhuhai-Hong Kong" completed customs clearance procedures at the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and then took the customs bus to Hong Kong Airport. On the morning of the same day, the first batch of inbound passengers entered the country through the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. As of 4 p.m., 32 people have successfully cleared customs through the new mode of "flying through Zhuhai, Hong Kong".
I flew from San Francisco to Hong Kong and then went back to Zhuhai to visit relatives, this experience is very good, compared to the previous need to go through the customs twice, now only need to go through the customs clearance procedures once, greatly shortened the trip, very convenient!Mr. Zeng, the first batch of passengers who "flew through Zhuhai and Hong Kong", said.
It is understood that "flying via Zhuhai-Hong Kong" is another cooperative and innovative measure between the mainland and Hong Kong at the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge port. Transit passengers transiting to Hong Kong International Airport via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge will be connected by land via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to achieve "air-land-air" rapid interconnection, and outbound passengers will pass through the customs and security check in the Zhuhai-Hong Kong Passenger Inspection Hall of the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge After completing customs clearance procedures such as customs clearance, you can go to the Hong Kong International Airport check-in counter on the first floor to check in and check in your baggage, and then take the airport customs bus directly to the Hong Kong Airport Haitian Transit Terminal. Passengers returning to the mainland after arriving at Hong Kong Airport from an international destination do not need to go through Hong Kong immigration procedures, and can go through customs entry and other formalities after taking the airport customs bus directly to the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which greatly reduces the customs clearance process for international travel.
At this stage, the Hong Kong Airport Corporation has set up special counters at the Zhuhai and Hong Kong ports of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to connect with passengers to "fly through Zhuhai-Hong Kong". Hong Kong Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Greater Bay Airlines, Hong Kong Express Airlines and other four airlines set up check-in counters at the Zhuhai Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. This move will efficiently link the "Zhuhai Airport - Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge - Hong Kong Airport" and effectively promote the formation of a world-class airport cluster in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
In order to ensure the smooth customs clearance at the port after the implementation of the 'Flying via Zhuhai-Hong Kong', the Customs has set up four special passenger channels at the port site, and took the lead in piloting the 'one-time inspection' joint inspection mode of customs and security inspection at land ports, with the help of the smart customs system to create an efficient and convenient 'non-inductive customs clearance' experience for inbound and outbound passengers, and the customs clearance efficiency of outbound passengers can be increased by 50%. Hao Yingfa, deputy director of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Customs, introduced.
According to reports, since the beginning of this year, with the recovery of the tourism industry, the demand for outbound travel is also steadily increasing, the implementation of the "Zhuhai-Hong Kong-flying" policy will give full play to the bridge's "one bridge connecting three places", radiating the Greater Bay Area and even the country's axis role, with the help of Hong Kong International Airport's rich international aviation network, broaden the tourism cooperation space between Zhuhai and Hong Kong, realize two-way drainage with Hong Kong, and promote the deep integration and development of the tourism industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
