On the morning of the 13th, Mr. Zeng, a Chinese guy who departed from San Francisco, USA, became the first passenger to use the "flight via Zhuhai-Hong Kong". After arriving at the Hong Kong International Airport, he entered Zhuhai via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. He said that compared with the previous time when returning to China, where it took two or three hours to check in luggage, "this time it has been reduced to only one hour, which is very convenient."
As a new way of entry and exit, the "Via Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Fly" passenger transport project realizes "air-land-air" international transshipment through the land connection of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. In this way, mainland passengers can fly abroad according to the route of "domestic departure point - Zhuhai Airport - Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge - Hong Kong airport - foreign destination", and foreign tourists can enter the mainland according to the route of "overseas departure point - Hong Kong Airport - Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge - Zhuhai Airport - domestic destination".
At 13:15 on the 13th, in the Zhuhai-Hong Kong departure hall on the third floor of the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Ms. Zhang from Guizhou and her party of three people were inspected by customs and security personnel, and appeared at the front service desk of the "Flying via Zhuhai-Hong Kong" passenger transport project along the special channel sign of Hong Kong International Airport. They exchanged their boarding vouchers at the service desk, completed the border inspection at the dedicated border inspection channel, purchased tickets for the closed bus at the pre-service point of the Hong Kong International Airport in the waiting hall on the first floor, checked in and checked in their luggage, and finally took the 15 o'clock closed bus from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to the Hong Kong International Airport at the departure waiting point.
There is no need to enter and exit the Hong Kong port, and there is no need to go through the entry and departure procedures of Hong Kong, from the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to the Haitian Transit Building of the Hong Kong International Airport, it only takes 45 minutes to take the customs closure bus, which is really convenient. At 15:45, Ms. Zhang, who arrived at Hong Kong International Airport, told reporters through WeChat. Subsequently, she flew to Thailand on a Thai Airways plane.
As of 7 p.m. on the same day, a total of 49 passengers had used "Zhuhai-Hong Kong Flight" to travel. According to the negotiation between Zhuhai City** and the Airport Authority Hong Kong, it is planned to open the second phase of the "Flying via Zhuhai-Hong Kong" passenger transport project in the first quarter of 2024, and passengers from any city in the mainland can go directly to Hong Kong International Airport through the Zhuhai Highway Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge after landing at Zhuhai Jinwan Airport.
On the one hand, the cooperation with Hong Kong Airport complements the international connectivity of Zhuhai Airport, and on the other hand, Zhuhai Airport will also become an important stop for Hong Kong Airport to expand the source of mainland flights. Zhuhai Zhuhai Hong Kong Airport Management *** senior manager Zhang Youlin said.
The implementation of the Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Fly' passenger transport project has benefited from the shortening of the travel distance between the airports of Zhuhai and Hong Kong by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which has created an opportunity for further cooperation between Zhuhai and Hong Kong in the airport and aviation industry. Wang Zhaohui, director of the Zhuhai Municipal Transportation Bureau, said that recently, the Zhuhai Municipal Executive Meeting deliberated and adopted in principle the "Zhuhai Municipal Policies and Measures on Accelerating the Construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Economic and Trade New Channel to Promote the High-quality Development of the Modern Logistics Industry", and clearly proposed to promote the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge cross-border logistics cargo source agglomeration and other measures to support Zhuhai-Hong Kong cooperation.
