The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau stated that the Air Passenger Departure Tax Ordinance 2022 (Amendment of Schedule 2) Order 2022 will be gazetted on Friday to stipulate the use of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge via the Haitian Interchange Building to arrive at the Hong Kong International Airport for transfer. Transit passengers will be exempted from paying Air Passenger Departure Tax.

The authorities continued to point out that the new exemption arrangement is in line with the expected opening of the Haitian Interchange Building next year. At that time, passengers from the Greater Bay Area "land-air transfer" can take land transportation approved by the Airport Authority and go through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to Haitianzhong. The transfer building to enter the Hong Kong International Airport and transfer to a plane for departure also pointed out that the measures are roughly the same as the current arrangement of sea-air transfer passengers at the Sky Ferry Terminal.

Measures to help attract transit passengers from the Mainland and Macau

A government spokesman said that the new arrangement will encourage more passengers from the mainland and Macau to choose to transit at Hong Kong International Airport, which will help enhance Hong Kong's status as the Greater Bay Area and an international aviation hub.

According to the AA, every person aged 12 or above who departs Hong Kong by air will be required to pay an Air Passenger Departure Tax of $120, which will be collected together with the cost of the air ticket.

Eligible passengers are exempt from paying departure tax if they meet the relevant criteria.
