Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre (HKBAC) and Cathay Pacific have launched a fully escorted “wing-to-wing” JetLink transfer service, streamlining standard customs and immigration procedures.
Transiting passengers switching between Cathay Pacific’s First and Business class services and private jet travel can now enjoy uninterrupted journeys across terminals, saving up to one-third of the transfer time.
Using the service will reduce the transfer process from one hour and 15 minutes to approximately 45 minutes.
The airside “wing-to-wing” service will improve wait times at the airport whilst still maintaining privacy, security and control.
Business executives flying from London to Hong Kong (pictured) with Cathay Pacific can transfer directly to a private jet bound for Shanghai or Beijing upon arrival.
Similarly, foreign investors arriving in Hong Kong from the Middle East can move from a private aircraft to Cathay Pacific’s First class cabin and head for Beijing, Tokyo or Paris, ensuring efficiency and discretion.
Vivien Lau, CEO of HKBAC, said: “JetLink demonstrates how business aviation can complement commercial travel. Our commitment to JetLink aims to reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a leading transit hub for business aviation while providing a personalised journey for our passengers.
“Leading executives of multinational corporations who have repeatedly used this service expressed satisfaction with their transit experiences in Hong Kong.”
Cheuk Lo, Cathay Pacific General Manager – Airport Service Delivery, added: “We are continuously exploring ways to elevate the customer experience as part of our vision to become one of the world’s greatest service brands.
“We have seen increasing demand for a seamless, time-saving connection service amongst our premium customers. Using the transfer service, passengers can experience the highest levels of service with Cathay Pacific and our partner HKBAC throughout their transit journey.”
