HONG KONG, June 26 (Bloomberg): Hong Kong is poised to allow airport check-in services in the heart of the city again, according to people familiar with the matter, reviving a system that epitomized convenience for travelers before the financial hub’s Covid isolation.

After being cordoned off for more than three years, check-in counters at Hong Kong Station are expected to open on July 5, the people said, enabling some airline passengers to drop off their luggage downtown at any point during the day of their flight and then collect it at their final destination.
