Dennis Lance 丹尼士長矛巴士 (AN) 1993-2010

At the time of 1993, the Dennis Falcon, which had been serving for Kai Tak airport routes for 8 years, were getting old. The airbus service also required expansion. A total number of 24 Dennis Lance had been ordered, in which 12 were single-door and the remaining were double-door. The single-door version were fitted with baggage stand and served in the airport routes. The double-door version are used as city shuttles.

When the new airport in Chek Lap Kok was open in 1998. Some of these single-door Lance had been transferred to Long Win bus, also serving route from Tung Chung to Airport. The others had gone back to city. All Dennis Lance are retired in 2010.

Although the number of Dennis Lance is not so large, it is still influential. The highly successful Dennis Trident is derived from it.

FU 5072 was served as a training bus at that day. It was usually served in 110 cross harbour route. All Dennis Lance in Hong Kong were fit with Alexander PS bodywork.

TIB919H, a Dennis Lance of SMRT, is till serving in Singapore as of 2011. The bus was made in Malaysia under UMW-Dennis, and is fit with a Duple Metsec body.
