    Multi-Modal Transport Connections
    Hong Kong Airport is a gateway hub to China. To meet growing demand, it continues to strengthen its integrated, multi-modal transport network with the Mainland, especially the PRD (Pearl River Delta).
    Some 320 coach trips a day link HKG Airport with 160 destinations in 90 PRD cities and towns. Passengers looking for point-to-point transport services can use the cross-boundary limousine to get to their PRD destinations directly.
    The SkyPier cross-boundary ferry service connects passengers between the PRD and international destinations via HKG, in comfort and without going through immigration and customs formalities in Hong Kong.
    Six PRD ports – Shenzhen Shekou and Fuyong, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Macau – currently offer these speedy cross-boundary arrangements. Passengers can even pre-check their baggage and obtain their boarding pass at Fuyong, Shekou, Macau and Dongguan Humen. A new permanent SkyPier facility is under construction.

    To strengthen Hong Kong's long-term competitiveness, HKG Airport will embark on enhancing Terminal 1's capacity, and make airfield improvements by building a North Satellite Concourse, reconfigurating the Departures Immigration Hall and adding new taxiways, as well as resurfacing the two runways. Plans are also underway to serve the growing stream of multi-modal traffic to/from the Chinese Mainland, and include expansion of cross-boundary ferry and coach services and the building of a permanent SkyPier ferry terminal, which is scheduled to open in 2009.
