Twelve e-channels are open to the public at the departure hall from 7.30am to midnight daily and 12 are at the arrival hall offering service to the public from 7.30am to 2am daily. Hong Kong permanent residents (aged 11 or above) holding smart identity cards may use the e-channels to perform self-service clearance.
