Skypier, cross-boundary pier in Hong Kong
Skypier Terminal is a cross-border ferry pier and coach bay inside Hong Kong International Airport on Chek Lap Kok. Its long, low facade is clad in pale off-white panels with closely spaced vertical ribs, carrying blue Chinese characters above the word "SKYPIER". The five-storey building has four berths, numbered 3 to 6, and a ground-floor Automated People Mover platform linking it to the airport terminals.
The pier opened in 1996 as Chek Lap Kok Ferry Pier, serving Airport Authority ferries and later public routes to Tuen Mun, Tai O and Sha Lo Wan. From 2003 it handled cross-border services, with local ferries moved to Tung Chung. Permanent works began in 2007, were delayed by a large fault found beneath the site, and the renamed SkyPier Terminal opened on 15 January 2010. A HK$3.38 billion coach facility for Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge transit passengers began operating on 30 August 2023.
Skypier lies within the airport restricted area and serves only passengers arriving or departing on flights at Hong Kong International Airport; it is not open to other visitors. Arriving passengers reach it via the Automated People Mover from Terminal 1, while ferry, coach and car transfers use level 3 for connections and level 4 for boarding berths 3 to 6. A shuttle bus links it to the Park & Fly car park at the Hong Kong Port around the clock.
