Hong Kong residents departing the city via Hong
Kong International Airport (HKIA) can now use ‘Flight Token’
technology to complete the entire process, including immigration
and boarding.
The innovative technology means that Hong Kong
residents who checked-in for their flights using the Smart
Check-In kiosks no longer have to produce their identity documents
repeatedly when they pass through different checkpoints at the
airport.
Hong Kong residents aged 11 or above travelling
with participated airlines can register to use Flight Token for
the entire departure journey with HKSAR passport or HKSAR Document
of Identity for Visa Purposes, or Hong Kong and Macao Residents
Entry and Exit Permit (commonly known as “Home Visit Permit”).
Other passport holders can still enjoy most of the
Flight Token journey with the exception of the immigration
departure clearance checkpoint.
Vivian Cheung, Executive Director, Airport
Operations of Airport Authority Hong Kong, said, “With the
relaxation of quarantine requirements, many local residents are
once again travelling through HKIA. To welcome them back, HKIA has
implemented Flight Token in full, offering a pleasant and
convenient departure experience. We will continue to work with our
partners to enhance our services and offer passengers an even more
enjoyable airport journey.”
Flight Token e-Channels are available at the
North and South Departure Immigration Halls, and all departure
gates in Terminal 1 are equipped with e-Boarding Gates.
