Cathay Pacific has opened its first ferry lounge at Shenzhen’s Shekou Cruise Home Port in China.
Strengthening its position in the wider Greater Bay Area and enhancing customers’ intermodal travel experience, Hong Kong-based airline Cathay Pacific has opened its first-ever lounge outside of an airport.
The lounge is now open to guests at the Shekou Cruise Home Port in Shenzhen, enhancing the intermodal travel experience for the airline’s customers and elevating sea-to-air connectivity between Hong Kong International Airport and the whole of the Greater Bay Area.
“As Hong Kong International Airport continues to strengthen its sea and land connections with neighbouring cities in the Greater Bay Area, we are excited to open our brand-new Cathay Pacific lounge at the Shekou Cruise Home Port to our customers travelling from the region,” says Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer Ronald Lam. “We are committed to continuing to invest, and delivering a more comfortable and convenient travel experience for our customers.
Cathay Pacific has the ambition of becoming the leading premium airline of choice for international travel to and from its extended home market of the Greater Bay Area. Central to achieving this goal is providing a wide range of reliable and convenient intermodal services, including air, sea and land options, for Greater Bay Area customers to connect with their Cathay Pacific flights at Hong Kong International Airport.
In addition to lounge access for applicable passengers, Cathay Pacific customers can enjoy effortless transfers using its codeshare ferry services to go directly from the Shekou Cruise Home Port to the SkyPier Terminal at Hong Kong International Airport. Currently, there are 11 round-trip ferry services per day between the Shekou Cruise Home Port and the SkyPier Terminal.
The ferry journey takes approximately 30 minutes and customers can collect their ferry tickets and boarding passes and also check in their luggage before arriving at the airport.
