Hong Kong's rules for airlines that carry infected COVID-19 patients will also be eased slightly, the government said in a statement on Friday, with the threshold for suspending incoming flights rising to five infected passengers from three currently.
A ban on individual airline routes will be shortened to five days from seven.
Foreign travellers will be subject to the same procedure as residents, the government said.
The announcement comes with daily infections below 1000 for more than a week from a peak of more than 70,000 on March 3.
Hong Kong's borders have essentially been closed since early 2020 with very few flights and weeks-long quarantine for arrivals.
Most flights currently landing in Hong Kong, which prides itself as the east-meets-west gateway, are from mainland China and a few other Asian cities.
Eleven flight routes were banned this week from airlines including Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Qantas, and KLM, according to government records.
There have been more than 70 flight bans so far this year.
The former British colony lifted a ban on flights arriving from nine countries including the US and Britain on April 1, and cut quarantine for residents to seven days from 14.
But the still stringent criteria mean few flights can operate in what was once one of the world's busiest transit hubs.
Hong Kong has followed mainland China in implementing a "dynamic zero" COVID-19 policy which aims to curb all outbreaks.
Thousands of residents trying to return to Hong Kong have been impacted by last-minute cancellations, leaving them scrambling to find alternative routes while ensuring they can secure their quarantine hotel room amid tight supply.
Hong Kong reopened gyms, beauty parlours, theme parks and cinemas on Thursday for the first time in more than four months.
Meanwhile, Singapore will remove most remaining COVID-19 restrictions from April 26 and ease entry requirements for travellers, its health ministry said on Friday.
The measures include removing limits on group sizes and allowing the full return of employees to workplaces, while lowering the Southeast Asian financial hub's alert level for the first time since the pandemic started.
Authorities also announced the scrapping of a requirement for vaccinated travellers to take a COVID-19 test before departing for Singapore.
"With these changes, we can now have a well-deserved breather, after two very difficult years of fighting the virus," Lawrence Wong, finance minister and co-chair of the government's coronavirus taskforce, said.
"But let's always remember, we are getting closer to the finish line, but the race is not over and the pandemic is certainly not over."
Some rules will remain, however, such as the mandatory wearing of face masks in indoor public settings and on public transport.
Many of the restrictions will remain in place for non-vaccinated individuals.
Singapore has vaccinated 93 per cent of its 5.5 million population, one of the world's highest rates. It has also achieved one of the lowest COVID fatality rates.
