Effective August 1, 2025, Hong Kong International Airport has updated its statutory Airport Area and Restricted Area maps. A new designated pickup zone for all prebooked taxis also opens today, streamlining ground transport for passengers and operators.

🗺️ Map Updates Now in Effect
The Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) has officially implemented updates to the Statutory Airport Area and Restricted Area maps. These changes reflect recent infrastructure adjustments and aim to improve operational clarity for airport staff, contractors, and transport providers.

🚖 New Prebooked Taxi Pickup Zone
Starting today, all prebooked taxis will use a newly designated pickup zone at HKIA. This move is designed to:

  • Reduce congestion at traditional taxi stands
  • Improve traffic flow during peak hours
  • Offer a smoother experience for passengers using pre-arranged transport

    📍 What Travelers Should Know

  • The new pickup zone is clearly signposted and located near the arrivals hall
  • Only taxis with verified prebookings are allowed to enter this zone
  • Passengers are advised to confirm pickup details with their taxi provider in advance

    📣 Why It Matters
    These updates are part of HKIA’s ongoing efforts to modernize airport operations and enhance passenger convenience. By separating prebooked taxi traffic from general taxi queues, the airport aims to reduce wait times and improve safety.

    🧭 Final Tip
    If you're arriving at HKIA and have a prebooked taxi, follow the signs to the designated zone and have your booking confirmation ready. For other transport options, Wingman’s real-time app can help you compare wait times and routes.
