A new ferry route between Hong Kong
International Airport and Nansha Port in Guangzhou has been
officially launched to further enhance connectivity between the
airport and the Pearl River Delta (PRD).
The new ferry service also increases the number
of PRD ports and weekly cross-boundary ferry trips served by
SkyPier to seven and more than 500, respectively.
The new route is operated by Panyu Nansha
Passenger Terminal Transport, and TurboJET, the operating brand of
Shun Tak-China Travel Ship Management, has been appointed as its
sole agent.
Currently, the 60-minute sailing departs from
Nansha Port at 09:30 and leaves HKIA at 15:30 each day.
Passengers of China Airlines, EVA Airways, Japan
Airlines and Mandarin Airlines can enjoy additional convenience by
checking in their luggage at Nansha Port and receiving it at their
final destination. Cathay Pacific Airways and Dragonair will also
offer this service.
With the
addition of the Nansha Port-HKIA route, SkyPier now operates 72
daily ferry trips to and from seven PRD ports: Nansha, Shenzhen's
Shekou and Fuyong, Dongguan's Humen, Zhongshan, Zhuhai's Jiuzhou
and Macau.
The ferry pier has served over 8.5 million passengers
since its inauguration, and the Airport Authority is set to
commence a new permanent SkyPier by the end of this year. Eight
times larger than the current facility and connected to Terminals
1 and 2 by Automated People Mover, the permanent SkyPier will
enhance the overall travel experience for passengers.
