Cathay Pacific has partnered with the Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre for “wing-t0-wing” transfers. 

Hong Kong is transforming the way travellers move between commercial and private aviation thanks to a new collaboration between the Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre (HKBAC) and Cathay Pacific to create JetLink, a service designed to provide seamless connections for transiting passengers switching between Cathay Pacific’s First and Business class services and private jet travel.

For transiting passengers, JetLink eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional airport transfers by streamlining the standard customs and immigration procedures typically required of inbound and outbound passengers. HKBAC, together with Cathay Pacific, will provide a fully escorted, “wing-to-wing” transfer service on the airside, allowing passengers to enjoy an uninterrupted journey across the terminals, saving up to one-third of the transfer time while maintaining privacy, security, and control. 

JetLink merges commercial and private aviation for efficient travel. As “wing-to-wing” transfer service gains popularity, passengers are discovering a new way of travel that provides a premium experience while maintaining flexibility, security, and time efficiency. 

“JetLink demonstrates how business aviation can complement commercial travel. Our commitment to JetLink aims to reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a leading transit hub for business aviation while providing a personalized journey for our passengers,” says Vivien Lau, CEO of HKBAC. “Leading executives of multinational corporations who have repeatedly used this service expressed satisfaction with their transit experiences in Hong Kong.”

Passengers can now enjoy unparalleled convenience and efficiency with JetLink’s new transfer options. For example, 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, avoiding unnecessary delays. Similarly, foreign investors arriving in Hong Kong from the Middle East can step directly from a private aircraft to Cathay Pacific’s First class cabin (below) and head for Beijing, Tokyo or Paris, ensuring efficiency and discretion at every stage.

“We are continuously exploring ways to further elevate the customer experience as part of our vision to become one of the world’s greatest service brands,” says Cathay Pacific general manager Airport Service Delivery Cheuk Lo. “We have seen increasing demand for a seamless, time-saving connection service among our premium customers. 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.” 

With JetLink, passengers can save up to one-third of their transfer time, reducing the process from one hour and 15 minutes to approximately 45 minutes. By working together, HKBAC and Cathay Pacific are reshaping premium travel and setting a new industry standard that reflects the future of seamless “wing-to-wing” transfer service.
