Hong Kong International Airport

Hong Kong International Airport is about 35 km from Central on Hong Kong Island. The Airport Express covers the trip to Hong Kong station in about 24 minutes, with trains roughly every 15 minutes. By road, the route crosses the Lantau Link bridges, and travel time depends on traffic and where your hotel is in Kowloon or on the Island.

No. The airport sits on Chek Lap Kok, a platform of reclaimed land next to Lantau Island, well west of the urban core. Kowloon and Hong Kong Island are reached by expressway bridges or by the Airport Express train, which takes about 24 minutes to Central.

Hong Kong airport has two passenger terminals. Terminal 1 handles all arrivals, all boarding gates and check-in for most airlines. Terminal 2 reopened on 27 May 2026 as a departures-only building for about 15 mainly short-haul airlines. Passengers who check in at Terminal 2 ride an automated people mover to their gate at Terminal 1.

Terminal 2 handles check-in for about 15 mainly regional airlines, including HK Express, Hong Kong Airlines, Greater Bay Airlines, Hainan Airlines, AirAsia, Cebu Pacific, IndiGo, VietJet Air and JEJU Air. Cathay Pacific and long-haul airlines check in at Terminal 1. Your boarding pass or airline will confirm the terminal, and all flights still arrive at Terminal 1.

Taxis wait at the stand in front of the Arrivals Hall at Terminal 1. Their color shows the area they serve: red taxis go to Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, green taxis to the New Territories and blue taxis to Lantau Island. All taxis use meters, and you should join the official queue rather than accept offers inside the hall.

The Airport Express runs from about 05:54 to 00:48 and reaches Hong Kong station in Central in about 24 minutes, stopping at Tsing Yi and Kowloon on the way. Airport buses on A routes serve Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, and NA routes run overnight. An Octopus card works on both.

Hong Kong passed a law in 2025 to license ride-hailing platforms, and the first licensed platforms are expected to start operating by the fourth quarter of 2026. Until then, check the current status before relying on an app. The official taxi stand and the Airport Express remain the most direct options from the arrivals hall.

Visitors have not needed to fill in an arrival card since 16 October 2024. Many nationalities can enter Hong Kong visa-free for a set number of days, but rules depend on your passport. Hong Kong runs separate immigration from mainland China, so a mainland visa does not cover Hong Kong and you clear immigration again when crossing to Shenzhen.

Take the B4 bus or a taxi from the airport to the Hong Kong Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, clear Hong Kong departure immigration, then ride the shuttle bus across the bridge, which takes about 45 minutes. Transfer passengers can also use SkyPier ferries to Macau without entering Hong Kong when the service is running.

Cross-boundary coaches leave from the airport coach hall for more than 110 destinations in the Greater Bay Area, including Shenzhen and Guangzhou. You clear Hong Kong departure immigration and mainland entry at the border. Transfer passengers can also use SkyPier ferries to Shenzhen ports such as Shekou and Fuyong when those routes are operating.

Hong Kong uses Hong Kong Time, UTC+8, all year with no daylight saving time. The currency is the Hong Kong dollar (HKD), and an Octopus card is widely used for public transport. Expect hot, humid weather for much of the year, so plan for heat and rain when moving between the terminal and your transport.

Hong Kong International Airport is operated by the Airport Authority Hong Kong, a statutory body owned by the Hong Kong government. It handled about 61 million passenger trips in 2025, up 15% on 2024, with 394,730 flight movements. The airport opened in July 1998 and now runs three parallel runways.
