Jointly established by Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and Zhuhai Airport, the “MGM Hong Kong International Airport City Terminal” officially commenced operations today. Located at MGM COTAI, which provides the venue and comprehensive supporting facilities, the facility is developed as a premium dual‑city airport terminal with cross‑border passenger transport services operated by China Travel Tours Transportation Services Hong Kong Limited. The launch marks a significant milestone in strengthening cross‑border aviation services and intermodal transportation collaboration among Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. Leveraging this platform, MGM aims to unite the collective strengths of enterprises and government bodies, deepen cross‑sector collaboration and strengthen the “mutual connectivity” within the Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Guests attending the opening ceremony included: Ms. Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Director of Macao Government Tourism Office; Mrs. Vivian Cheung Kar-fay, Chief Executive Officer of Airport Authority Hong Kong; Mr. Albert Yau, General Manager of Hong Kong-Zhuhai Airport Management Company Limited of Zhuhai; Mr. Alex Wong, Managing Director of China Travel Tours Transportation Services Hong Kong Limited; Mr. Kenneth Feng, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, and representatives from the tourism, aviation, maritime and transportation sectors from Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau.

Mr. Kenneth Feng, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited said: “The new city airport terminal extends the check-in services of HKIA and Zhuhai Airport directly to MGM COTAI, enabling our guests to connect with both airports more efficiently and enjoy a smoother cross border travel experience, further reinforcing Macau’s role as a regional transportation hub.”

It also plays a positive role in attracting international visitors and encouraging longer stays in the city. It the past, travelers eligible for the 144- or 240-hour visa free transit policies might only have passed through Macau briefly. With the added convenience of the city terminal, they can now explore Macau at a more relaxed pace and experience its unique charm shaped by the fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.”

Mrs. Vivian Cheung Kar-fay, Chief Executive Officer of Airport Authority Hong Kong, said, “HKIA has been extending its intermodal services network for years, covering core cities on the western side of the GBA and further extending into the Macau market. Since the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the number of Macau travelers departing via HKIA has continued to rise. The establishment of this premium city terminal will help us expand the high-end customer base in Macau and further enhance our connectivity with Macau. Looking ahead, we will continue to develop our intermodal services, with a target to increase the number of city terminals to 50 by 2027, attracting more GBA travelers to use HKIA.”

Designed with high-end features, the “MGM Hong Kong International Airport City Terminal” provides services such as self-check-in counters and real-time flight information. It operates daily from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with a range of transport links to both HKIA and Zhuhai Airport. Departing from the city terminal, travelers can reach HKIA via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in about 90 minutes, or to Zhuhai Airport in approximately 60 minutes, offering more convenient, diverse and efficient travel services for travelers from Macau and surrounding regions.
