The airport is particularly useful for:
- Corporate and executive travel
- Banking and investment meetings
- Family office travel
- Greater Bay Area business
- Trade and professional services
- Luxury, art and retail events
- Government and diplomatic travel
- Regional multi-city itineraries

Its expanded terminal became fully operational in 2025 following a five-year redevelopment programme. The project increased passenger-handling capacity while upgrading the private aviation terminal experience.
Services include:
- Private passenger reception
- VIP lounge facilities
- On-site customs and immigration clearance
- Ground handling

HKBAC describes itself as the first FBO in Asia to integrate co-located Customs, Immigration and Quarantine services.
Private jet permits and slots in Hong Kong
Private and non-scheduled flights require advance operational coordination.
HKBAC advises that applications to operate non-scheduled air services to or from Hong Kong should be submitted at least three working days before the planned arrival or departure. Operators also need to coordinate runway slots, ground handling and aircraft parking.
During periods of high demand, parking and preferred operating times can be restricted, so advance planning is recommended.
