A new city check-in facility offering direct cross-border airport transfer to Zhuhai International Airport opened in Prince Edward on 19 May 2026, giving Hong Kong travellers a way to clear formalities in the city before heading straight to the mainland airport.
The facility began service at a ground-floor premises on Portland Street in Mong Kok and is run by Kwoon Chung Bus under its Trans-Island Limousine Service brand. It offers luxury business-class vehicle transfers and staffed check-in services, with 14 return trips a day between the lounge and Zhuhai International Airport. The trip takes around two hours, and the lounge operates from 7.30am to 6.30am the following day.
Passengers can use the lounge’s flight information displays, destination maps and departure timetables before boarding a direct transfer. Regular single fares are set at HK$330, while a discounted rate of HK$260 applies during the first year of operation. Until 18 July, passengers holding a valid Zhuhai International Airport boarding pass issued within the previous three days, together with valid identification, can redeem a cross-boundary ticket for HK$1.
Matthew Wong said the Prince Edward location benefits from convenient transport links and would make travel to mainland destinations easier for Hong Kong residents. The launch also comes as Kwoon Chung expands a network it already runs at Huanggang, Shenzhen Bay and Zhuhai ports.
The new service fills a gap that has long shaped how travellers reach Zhuhai. Ben Chan said Hong Kong International Airport has a strong global network, but its mainland route coverage is comparatively limited. He said travellers previously had to rely on multiple transfers, including the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge shuttle bus, to get to Zhuhai International Airport, and that the new downtown facility streamlines the trip with a seamless point-to-point connection.
Zhuhai International Airport now serves 68 domestic destinations and ranks 14th among mainland airports handling passenger volumes in the tens of millions. It also runs differentiated routes for Hong Kong and Macao travellers, including services to Changchun, Shenyang, Dali, Yangzhou, Luoyang, Shangrao and Tangshan. For passengers headed north or deeper into mainland China, the new lounge makes the airport transfer simpler, cheaper at launch and much less fragmented than the route it replaces.
