The country's first "maritime and air integrated" border crossing helicopter route is officially open. It only takes 20 minutes to travel from Shenzhen to Hong Kong and Macao by helicopter.

"Before, it used to take me over an hour to travel from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, now it only takes 20 minutes!" Mr. Wu, who is engaged in financial investment, sighed. On November 6, with the roar of cross-border helicopters taking off and landing, the Shenzhen International Cruise Homeport officially started operating cross-border helicopter entry and exit services. After the two routes officially start operating, the travel time from Shekou, Shenzhen to Hong Kong Island and Macau will be shortened to within 20 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. This signifies that the "30-minute efficient transportation circle" in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area is moving from blueprint to reality, injecting powerful momentum into the deep integration of the region, port economy, and low-altitude economy development. Jiang Chengfeng, Deputy Director of the Port Office of Shenzhen, stated that as an important application scene of low-altitude economy in the field of cross-border transportation, the new high-efficiency "air corridor" will effectively promote the rapid flow and optimization of resources such as talents, capital, and information between Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, especially between Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macau. At the same time, the normalized operation of the routes will accumulate valuable experience for low-altitude route planning, flight services, infrastructure construction, etc., and promote the innovative development of low-altitude economy in Shenzhen and even the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau.
