Longer sails between Macau and HKIA

Ferry trips between the territory and the Hong Kong Int’l Airport (HKIA) have recently decreased in frequency and increased in length. The measure entered into force on December 28 last year.
As announced at the request of the Airport Authority Hong Kong, all ferry trips between the SkyPier and Macau ferry terminals are being rerouted and subjected to speed restrictions that extend the journey time to approximately 70 minutes, from the normal 45 minutes.
Regarding TurboJet company, these measures also came to affect the frequency of the ferries and their schedules with a reduction from six to four trips a day from HKIA to Macau Outer Harbor, and from seven to six trips per day in the opposite direction.
As for Cotai Water Jet, and aside from alterations to the sailing duration, the company announced that the trip scheduled to take place at 11a.m. from Hong Kong Ferry Terminal to Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal would no longer make a stopover at HKIA.
According to the same source, these restrictions are related to the expansion of the HKIA into a three-runway system, which has recently begun construction. RM
