History

• 29 June 2017: Route NA12 entered service as a trial until 31 August of the same year, operating one-way from Siu Sai Wan (Island Resort) to Airport, replacing the 05:00 early morning additional departure of Route A12 that operated during long holiday periods.
  • The service period was later extended to 9 October of the same year.
• 16 December 2017:
