With effective from 29Jul 2020

– All air crew must have a negative result of test for COVID-19 done at an accredited laboratory, with the specimen collected within 48 hours prior to boarding the flight to Hong Kong. Otherwise, the air crew must take a test for COVID-19 at the Temporary Specimen Collection Centre (TSCC) of the Department of Health (DH) upon arrival at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and wait for the test results there or at any other designated location.

Arrangement of HK & non-HK based Crew

– Operators/Trip planners must arrange point-to-point transportation for their air crew to travel between the HKIA and their place of accommodation and prohibit the use of public transportation which will serve the general public at the same time. Operators/Trip planners should also ensure that their air crew will self-isolate at a designated location in accordance with DH’s requirements. Air crew should strictly observe the principle of minimising contact with the local community during their stay in Hong Kong.

Apart from all asymptomatic inbound travellers, crew arriving at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) are required to undergo mandatory deep throat saliva sampling for virus testing with effect from 08 July.

The process of health check, immigration & C&E clearance and sampling will take place at the HKIA Terminal 1 (commercial terminal) and Asia World Expo. Inbound passengers are mandated to stay at designated venues to wait for test results. If tested negative, the passengers have to go to their accommodation as soon as possible by their own means for compulsory quarantine.

Please expect a longer post-flight holding time of around 8-10 hours.
