Cathay Pacific
is to expand a number of services in its summer schedule, including seven additional weekly flights to Beijing and a third daily non-stop flight to Los
Angeles. Additional services will also commence to Amsterdam, Ho Chi Minh City, Johannesburg, Nagoya and Perth.
The seven additional weekly flights to Beijing follow on the heels of the recent launch of a daily freighter service to Shanghai and thrice-weekly service to
Xiamen.
Cathay Pacific is the only airline that flies non-stop from Hong Kong to Los Angeles and offers more frequent services there than any other airline. The early departure
and arrival of the new flight will offer greater choice of connections to all Cathay Pacific code share destinations across the United States.
Amsterdam and Johannesburg, now at five and six flights a week respectively, will become daily services, and Ho Chi Minh City will step up from a daily to double-daily
operation. Nagoya will see another seven services a week on top of its double-daily schedule. Perth will move from three to four weekly flights and bring to 52 the
number of direct flights the airline operates to six cities in Australia each week.
Cathay Pacific Director Corporate Development Augustus Tang
said, “Increasing the frequency of services to double and even triple-daily to key cities is an important
part of our growth strategy. Additional and daily services to other cities create a more convenient product for our customers, strengthen our network and thereby
enhance Hong Kong’s global hub and Mainland gateway position.”
