The Airport Express will extend its service to 3:45am on Monday due to a high number of passengers expected to arrive in Hong Kong after a typhoon.
Ben Lui, MTR's chief of airport segment, said six additional trains will be deployed from 1:15am for travellers to get to Tsing Yi, Kowloon Station and Hong Kong Station.
They will run every 30 minutes.
The rail operator said it expects many travellers to arrive in Hong Kong following the resumption of flights disrupted by Typhoon Wipha earlier.
Lui also pointed out that all MTR lines would have stopped running by the time the passengers reach the urban areas.
"If the passengers do not the transportation to their destinations, our staff will provide seats, charging facilities, as well as food and water supplies, so they can stay at a safe place," he said.

Cathay looks to hire more pilots for 'steady' growth
Cathay looks to hire more pilots for 'steady' growth Cathay's director of flight operations Chris Kempis (centre) says the airline may expand its cadet training programme to recruit trainees from outside the country. Photo: RTHK Hong Kong's flagship carrier on Monday vowed to recruit more pilots to join its workforce, as the first batch of 30 cadets from the mainland finished training and started operating flights. Cathay Pacific had welcomed a total of 60 mainland cadets to its pilot training programme from more than 750 applicants since the scheme's expansion in 2023. The scheme, which also trained a record high of more than 1,100 local cadets, takes aspiring pilots through training in Hong Kong, the United States and Australia. Chris Kempis, the airline's director of flight operations, was hopeful of bringing in more pilots. "The rate of training and the number of cadets we've had since the end of the pandemic has been a record... We want to build a more steady state of growth as we go from 2025 towards 2030," Kempis said. "But the opportunities presented by the strong hub created here in Hong Kong as Hong Kong Airport grows and the three-runway system gains full efficiency give us a real opportunity for growth, and the availability of pilots both from Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and the rest of the world will be the mainstay going forward." Kempis also said Cathay might expand the programme to recruit trainees from outside the country, targetting those who are familiar with Hong Kong and those coming from top universities. Among the new pilots is Robert Sun from northern China, who once worked as a mechanic for Cathay in Beijing. "I really enjoyed that big blend pot for different cultures around the world. You get to meet different people from different areas, and you get to learn their culture. I think that's really exciting," Sun said. "Anytime I have any questions, there will be other Hong Kong locals or people living in Hong Kong for a long time, they'll be more than happy to give me advice and help me with whatever issue I have."

Bid to facilitate travel for National Games spectators
Bid to facilitate travel for National Games spectators Eric Chan, second left, says Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong have set up a multi-tiered coordination system for the National Games. Photo: RTHK Chief Secretary Eric Chan said on Friday that Hong Kong is actively pursuing measures to simplify travel arrangements for mainland residents wishing to attend the National Games in November, calling it key to promoting convenient travel and deeper integration in the Greater Bay Area. For the first time, Hong Kong is co-hosting the Games alongside Guangdong and Macau. At a joint press conference in Beijing with representatives from all three hosting regions, Chan said the Games will further create new opportunities for sports exchanges, people-to-people connections and economic collaboration in the Greater Bay Area. "To facilitate mainland visitors coming to Hong Kong to watch the events, the organising committee is actively seeking measures for mainland residents to easily obtain travel permits to Hong Kong, allowing tourists to travel alongside the competitions and further promoting the integration of sports and tourism in the Greater Bay Area," he said. Chan said the three regions have established a multi-tiered coordination system, including regular meetings and cross-border working groups, to streamline logistics like spectator mobility. Echoing the focus on accessibility, Macau's Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, O Lam, revealed plans to extend travel permits for visitors attending events in Macau, aiming to enhance "connectivity of hearts" through "soft connectivity". Meanwhile, Wang Xi, standing committee member of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, said the online ticketing platform will be launched in early August. "In late August, we will release ticket resources in phases and by events according to the progress of the competition organisation. The prices of popular events are generally affordable, and some events adopt a reservation system," he said. Wang also noted that plans for the opening ceremony in Guangzhou and closing ceremony in Shenzhen are nearly finalised. Both events will spotlight Greater Bay Area culture, including Cantonese opera and music, and feature a unified entrance for athlete delegations from all three hosts. A 100-day countdown begins August 1 with Guangdong and Macau holding special events that day. The following day, Hong Kong will host a large-scale celebration, followed by a city-wide sports day. Tong Lixin, deputy director of the General Administration of Sport, said all competition venues are nearing readiness, the Games schedule is finalised and more than half of 68 test events have been completed. He said mass participation events are also underway, reinforcing the Games' community focus.

As tourists return, Hong Kong has second chance at getting balance right
Between 2012 and 2018, Hong Kong experienced substantial growth, partly driven by a notable rise in tourism. During this period, Ocean Park often operated at full capacity, and the MTR was frequently crowded with travellers carrying suitcases. The streets of many neighbourhoods were transformed to provide goods and services mainly catering to mainland visitors. For some locals, daily routines were disrupted as queues formed at bakeries and popular spots, creating a mixture of emotions about the city's growing tourism sector. The dynamic that once defined local life was noticeably changing. Hong Kong established itself as Asia's 'shopping paradise' , attracting over 65 million visitors in 2018, with some 78 per cent coming from mainland China. While this brought prosperity to many businesses and landlords, the general public often bore the costs, such as overcrowded MTR stations and other public spaces. The growth of tourism was driven by increasing wealth on the mainland and policies like the Individual Visit Scheme , which made it easier to travel to Hong Kong from participating cities in China. Although the influx brought economic benefits, it also raised concerns about overcrowding, rising prices and the loss of neighbourhood character. The situation changed significantly after 2019, when social unrest and then the pandemic severely affected tourism. As borders reopened, economic and geopolitical issues influenced global travel patterns, and visitors were slow to return. A major factor was the strong US dollar that the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to, which reduced the city's competitiveness. But competition from mainland cities also grew. New theme parks and retail options in Shenzhen began attracting tourists who previously preferred Hong Kong's attractions, such as Ocean Park , forcing established venues to work harder to stay competitive.
