Cathay and HKBAC expand JetLink transit service

This move leverages the growing “wing-to-wing” transfer service.

Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre (HKBAC) have announced the expansion of their JetLink programme, merging commercial and private aviation for seamless travel.

Through JetLink, HKBAC and Cathay Pacific will provide a fully escorted, “wing-to-wing” transfer service on the airside. This also streamlines the standard customs and immigration procedures typically required of inbound and outbound passengers.

“We have seen increasing demand for a seamless, time-saving connection service among our premium customers,” said Cathay Pacific General Manager Airport Service Delivery Cheuk Lo.

Through JetLink, business executives flying from London to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific can transfer directly to a private jet bound for Shanghai or Beijing upon arrival. Those flying to Hong Kong from the Middle East can also step directly from a private aircraft to Cathay Pacific’s First class cabin and head for Beijing, Tokyo or Paris.

This service reduces the process from one hour and 15 minutes to approximately 45 minutes.

“Through the ‘wing-to-wing’ transfer service offered by JetLink, our customers can experience the highest levels of service with Cathay Pacific and our partner HKBAC throughout their transit journey,” Lo said.
