AAHK Welcomes Scheme on Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles

(Hong Kong, 02 July 2025, 1915hrs) – Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) welcomes the Government’s announcement today of the “Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles” scheme. In support of the scheme, AAHK will start the phased commissioning of two automated car parks in November. Developed and operated by AAHK, the two car parks are both located in the restricted area at the Hong Kong Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB).

At the initial stage starting in November, the fully automated “Park and Fly” facility will provide about 1,800 parking spaces. Transfer passengers who arrive from HZMB can simply leave their vehicles at the designated location in the car park, without parking the cars themselves. AAHK’s shuttle buses will then take them directly to the airport’s restricted area for check-in and boarding, without the need to clear immigration procedures to enter Hong Kong and then depart for their flights.

In the next phase, AAHK plans to launch the automated “Park and Visit” car park in the first half of next year, providing convenience for inbound travellers to visit Airport City facilities such as AsiaWorld-Expo and other leisure and entertainment facilities of SKYTOPIA to be introduced in the future, as well as other parts of Hong Kong.

Welcoming the “Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles” scheme, Vivian Cheung, Chief Executive Officer of AAHK said, “We thank the Central Government as well as the governments of Guangdong Province and HKSAR for launching the ‘Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles’ scheme. We are also grateful for their staunch support for our automated car park projects. As the international aviation hub in the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong International Airport has been providing intermodal transport services to facilitate air passengers, including cross-boundary coaches, limousines, and high-speed ferries. ‘Park and Fly’ fully leverages the convenience provided by the HZMB, offering Greater Bay Area travellers yet another option of driving to Hong Kong for flying to destinations worldwide. On the other hand, ‘Park and Visit’ makes it convenient for inbound travellers to visit Airport City facilities, helping to promote Hong Kong’s tourism.”

In the run up to the commissioning, AAHK is conducting system testing and drills at the car parks. Meanwhile, AAHK is finalising the detailed arrangements for booking and usage of spaces at the two automated car parks. Details will be announced in due course.
