The Airbus Route A32 is operated by Long Win Bus. It runs between Kwai Chung Estate and Airport (Ground Transportation Centre), via Tai Wo Hau, Tsing Yi Estate and Tsing Yi South, and connects via Lantau Link to and from Hong Kong International Airport and HZMB Hong Kong Port.
History[]
Commencing background[]
Since the opening of the Chek Lap Kok Airport on 6 July 1998, Route A31 has been providing one-way services to and from the airport for residents of Tsuen Wan Town Centre, Kwai Hing, Kwai Fong and Tsing Yi South. However, its circuitous routing makes it unattractive to passengers travelling to and from Tsuen Wan Town Centre, and it fails to cover the private housing estates along Texaco Road and Wing Shun Street, which are experiencing a rise in population, and the residents of the area around Cheung On Estate can only use Route E32, which detours via Tung Chung and the Airport Logistics Area.
In view of this, in the 2016-2017 Bus Route Planning Programme, the Transport Department and LWB proposed to introduce an Airbus route between Kwai Chung Estate and the Airport via Tsing Yi, and to rationalise the existing Route A31 via Tsing Yi, which would no longer pass through Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi South, so as to reduce the circuitousness of the route and to continue to serve the original Airbus catchment area on Tsing Yi, thus facilitating travellers to travel to and from the three hotels next to Rambler Crest.

- 3 December 2023: The amount of interchange concession with KMB's regular solely-operated routes was increased to free of charge for one trip between these two routes until 31 August 2024. [14]
- 17 March 2024: Detoured via HZMB Hong Kong Port for both directions, and a new stop was added at "Tsing Yi Ferry" on Fung Shue Wo Road for Airport direction. [15][16]
