The Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre (HKBAC), a subsidiary of the Group, has introduced the new HKBAC JetLink Service to provide seamless connectivity between business jets and commercial flights, offering passengers greater convenience and a personalized transfer journey with enhanced privacy. Allen Fung, Chairman of HKBAC, noted that in recent years, HKBAC’s main clientele has grown beyond the traditional business owners, senior executives of financial corporations and high net-worth individuals to also include a wide variety of passengers on charter flights, group tours and family getaways, as well as pet transportation. This expansion and diversification of the business aviation market has met evolving customer needs and increased demand for business jets, he said. The new HKBAC JetLink Service provides passengers with wing-to-wing airside transfers. With dedicated personnel accompanying the travellers throughout the entire transfer, they can clear customs and claim baggage with great ease. This enhancement can improve privacy and potentially reduce transfer time by approximately one-third. The government’s drive for a mega event economy and initiatives to attract family offices have fuelled demand for premium air services that promise a high level of privacy and flexibility. Business aviation is well placed to meet the travel needs of this clientele and can help further attract global talent and business travellers to Hong Kong. This, in turn, will strengthen the competitiveness of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and benefit Hong Kong’s overall economic development.
