Why Fly Private
Hong Kong International Airport is one of the world's busiest, and commercial passengers routinely face hour-long immigration queues. The Business Aviation Centre bypasses this entirely, offering a private channel that clears you in minutes. Helicopter transfers to Central or Kowloon eliminate the often congested 45-minute taxi ride, making private aviation the only truly seamless way to arrive in this vertical city.
Private Jet Experience
Arriving at Hong Kong International Airport's Business Aviation Centre, you are greeted by a dedicated handler who escorts you through a private immigration channel. Within minutes you are cleared and seated in a luxury vehicle — or stepping aboard a helicopter for the breathtaking 12-minute transfer to the Peninsula's rooftop helipad in Tsim Sha Tsui. The dramatic skyline unfolds beneath you as you descend into the heart of Kowloon.
