Following the introduction of
direct flights to Okinawa earlier this month, Hong Kong Express Airways has
now launched its second scheduled service to Japan: a new three times weekly direct flight between Hong Kong and Kagoshima, the only direct service available
between the two cities.
The launch follows just days after the airline’s introduction of chartered services to Okayama and precedes the commencement of
scheduled direct services to Hiroshima later this week. Hiroshima will be the airline’s third scheduled service between Hong Kong and
Japan, and will operate twice weekly (every Thursday and Sunday) from May 1st.
Mr. Ronnie
Choi, President of Hong Kong Express Airways, said, “By providing direct flights between Hong Kong and interesting destinations, we offer more
choices and great convenience for travellers who want to explore new destinations. We have seen already growth on our Okinawa route
and I believe that we will see the same with these new destinations.”
Situated at the south-western tip of the Kyushu island of Japan, Kagoshima is often referred to as the ‘Naples of the Orient’ due to the
similarity between Mount Sakurajima and Kinko Bay with Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples in Italy. A popular getaway destination for
many city dwelling Japanese, Kagoshima is a relaxed leisure destination boasting a balmy climate and a host of cultural and scenic
attractions. Equally scenic in its surroundings is Hiroshima which is famed as a centre of Manga as well as for its natural hot sand baths
and atomic memorials.
