Important Travel Information for passengers travelling to/from Japan

Published on 13 Feb 2023–12:00 HKT

We have been constantly communicating with the relevant authorities to maintain our schedule as much as possible, minimise the impact to our customers.

Regrettably, the Japanese government continues to mandate a limit on the maximum number of flights each carrier can operate from Hong Kong SAR to Japan.

As a result, HK Express can only operate 74 flights per week into Japan, which is 20-22 flights per week fewer than what was originally planned for March 2023.

Hence, to comply with the latest restrictions, HK Express must cancel certain flights (including return flights from Japan) between Hong Kong and Japan from 3 to 30 March 2023:

Face coverings requirement

Updated on 30 July 2020–12:00 HKT

In response to COVID-19, we have implemented a number of measures to safeguard the wellbeing of our passengers and crew. While the risk of transmission from one passenger to another onboard remains very low, we are introducing an additional temporary requirement for added protection.

 

With immediate effect until further notice, passengers are required to wear face coverings throughout the journey. This includes:

  • during check-in;
  • during boarding;
  • in the aircraft cabin; and
  • during disembarkation

 

Passengers who are unable to tolerate a face covering, including children under six years old, are exempt from this requirement while onboard. It is strongly recommended that face coverings are used in high-traffic areas such as security lines and baggage collection areas.

We kindly ask that you bring your own appropriate face covering to wear throughout your journey - all types of masks and coverings are suitable. For a sustainable option, please visit the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention to learn more about cloth face coverings and how to make one at home.

Please also be reminded that Hong Kong SAR Government has put a series of anti-epidemic measures in place, which includes mandating people to wear face mask on public transports as well as at all indoor and outdoor public areas. To learn more about the measures, please visit The Government’s website.
