An additional integrated resort-airport City Terminal for Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) was launched yesterday, aimed at enhancing Hong Kong’s efforts to attract “high-end” customers from Macau while improving travel convenience for luxury travelers.

MGM China Holdings Limited announced yesterday its collaboration with HKIA and Zhuhai Airport to establish a city airport lounge at MGM Cotai, with a launch ceremony marking the occasion.

As stated, the facility will offer self-service check-in for HKIA, Zhuhai Airport, and Macau International Airport, along with real-time flight information and cross-border transportation services.

“This marks a new hub connecting Hong Kong and Macau,” stated Kenneth Feng, CEO of MGM China Holdings Limited, expressing confidence that this initiative will further solidify Macau’s role as a regional center.

“Guests departing from Macau can efficiently reach Hong Kong and Zhuhai airports, ensuring smoother cross-border travel. Previously, they might have merely passed through briefly. Now, with more convenient direct services, they can spend more time exploring Macau’s streets and alleys, experiencing the unique arts and culture at MGM and other destinations across the city,” Feng added.

The airport lounge is the 38th city airport lounge established. On the topic, Vivian Cheung, chief executive officer of HKIA, remarked, “We are committed to premium, standardized, and distinctive services, providing seamless transfer options. All vehicles are dedicated shuttle services.”

Highlighting the impact of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, Cheung cited data showing that the number of Macau travelers using HKIA has continued to grow, with over 240,000 passengers traveling between the bridge and the airport last year—a 25.48% increase compared to 2024.

Cheung emphasized that the opening of the MGM City Terminal is a crucial step in expanding the airport’s “high-end customer base initiative” in Macau.
