14 Jul 2009
A new ferry service has been launched between Hong Kong international airport (HKIA) and Nansha Port in Guangzhou, China.
The link boosts connectivity between the airport and the Pearl River Delta (PRD).
Travellers can catch ferries from Hong Kong to Nansha at 15:30 every day, with departures from the port in Guangzhou at 09:30. Each crossing takes 60 minutes.
Carriers including China Airlines and Japan Airlines will also be offering an additional service allowing travellers to check in their luggage at Nansha Port and receive it at their final destination.
Stanley Hui Hon-chung, chief executive of the airport authority in Hong Kong, said: 'With global connectivity to some 150 worldwide locations, including 110 international destinations, HKIA is the ideal transit airport for both PRD residents and overseas travellers.
'The new ferry service provides another commuting choice for people living or working in the PRD, allowing them to reach HKIA easily for their connecting flights to different parts of the world.'
Cathay Pacific is one of the biggest airlines offering flights to Hong Kong, while other carriers such as Finnair and Qatar Airways also fly to the city.
