 Probably Neoplan.

 Only knows the body is by Vetter,
I have replied the same model in
the past but there is no result
on the chassis.

I found this "thing" called Vetter
from the following article from
a magazine. Later somebody said
that Vetter is the bodybuilder
of this bus...

 Vetter Karosserie- und Fahrzeugbau GmbH was very close to Mercedes-Benz (literally and figuratively), so a Mercedes-Benz chassis is very likely. While I'm not fully convinced they are all the same, these are all unidentified airport buses of that sort in question:

Here are further buses bodied by Vetter and here is no link at all.

 the only other hint for combination Mercedes-Benz/Vetter is coming from vintage Quiz card i remember playing with.
The card is depicting Kässbohrer Jet 90 but mentions b) Daimler-Benz/Vetter as well.

 make is Walter Vetter Karosserie- und Fahrzeugbau GmbH in Stuttgart in 1969
it is a 2 directions apron bus on Vetter chassis developed by Vetter himself:
It is a low floor integral chassis with oversize track width no other manufacturer has, except Neoplan.
no Mercedes chassis at all.

BTW that is the reason for no other name is mentioned in literature, than Vetter.
It might have a Mercedes engine anyway.

 Thank you 3asv6! it seems MY is 1975 for Hong Kong variant and type could be HATS than.
I'm now speculating HATS = Hong Kong Airport Transport System
1969 has been prototype.
It took a while but we identified it together :-)
