Confetti and cameras greeted
the arrival on October 1
of the first of the sleek new
trains for the Airport Express
rail link (right). The dedicated
service will take passengers
on the 34-kilometre journey
from the Hong Kong Island
Terminus to the new airport
in 23 minutes, with stops
at Kowloon and Tsing Yi.
Departing airline passengers
will be able to use special
check-in services at the
Kowloon and Central stations,
which will save them time.
