Hong Kong International Airport

About Hong Kong International Airport

Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) occupies most of Chek Lap Kok island off the north coast of Lantau, 34 km west of Central. It opened in 1998 and now handles tens of millions of passengers a year through Terminal 1 and the smaller Midfield Concourse. Cathay Pacific is the home carrier, with Greater Bay Airlines, HK Express, and most major global airlines also flying daily. The airport is one of Asia’s largest cargo hubs as well.

Getting from Hong Kong International Airport to Hong Kong

The Airport Express train reaches Hong Kong Station in 24 minutes, but the final leg to a hotel still typically requires a taxi or shuttle. By road, the route follows the North Lantau Highway, crosses the Tsing Ma Bridge into the New Territories, and either uses the Western Harbour Crossing for Hong Kong Island or stays on the Kowloon side via the West Kowloon Highway. Pre-booked transfers cover the full door-to-door journey at a fixed price including all tolls.

Terminals and pickup points

Terminal 1 handles almost all commercial passenger flights, with arrivals on the lower level. After clearing immigration and baggage reclaim, follow the signs to the arrivals hall and the dedicated meet-and-greet meeting point at Counter A12 or B12. Pre-booked drivers wait there with a name sign, then escort passengers to the official short-stay car park for boarding.
