Announcement for Access Control At Hong Kong International Airport

Access control at the terminal buildings of Hong Kong International Airport is being implemented. Until further notice, only bona fide passengers with a valid air ticket or boarding pass for a flight in the next 24 hours and a valid travel document will be allowed to enter the terminal buildings. Passengers are reminded to arrive at the airport three hours before their departure time for relevant checks at the designated access control checkpoints equipped with 24-hour security cameras. Other members of the public, including those who may want to accompany departure passengers or receiving arrival passengers at the airport should not travel to the airport unless absolutely necessary.

 

Passengers Must Wear Face Masks in All Indoor and Outdoor Areas at the Airport

In line with the government requirement, passengers must wear face masks in all indoor and outdoor public areas at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). Airport Authority Hong Kong requires that all passengers must continue to wear face masks after they enter the restricted area of HKIA for boarding. This compulsory requirement is also applicable at SkyPier and on Automated People Mover and Apron Passengers Vehicles. Passengers are advised to bring their own face masks.

 

Please keep social distancing at all times

Please keep at least 2 meters (approximately equal to 2 arms open) away from people around you.

 

Do not travel if you are not feeling well

According to the opinions of professional medical staff, if you have fever, cough, difficulty breathing, sore throat, taste or smell changes recently, it is not recommended to travel aboard, and please go to see doctor immediately. If you feel unwell during your trip, please do not act rashly and follow the instructions of local officials.

 

Bring all the necessary personal supplies and spare supplies

According to the suggestions from the professional medical staff, if you need to take the medicine consistently, it is recommended to bring enough medicine for the whole journey, keep the original packaging and label of the medicine, and bring the prescription documents. You can also consider bringing your own alcohol handrub (with an alcohol content of at least 60%) and carry it with you for easy access at any time. However, please note that some airports or airlines may have restrictions on the amount of liquid carried by passengers. Please bring non-perishable food and bottled water to deal with the closure of restaurants and shops. Similarly, some airlines have restrictions on bringing food and drinks.

Due to the continuous changes under the epidemic situation in various countries, we recommend that all passengers must call the airline or visit the airline's official website 72 hours before the flight departure to check the latest flight schedule.
