Cathay Pacific Expands Flybe Codeshare; Adds Birmingham to Network

Cathay Pacific has expanded its codeshare agreement with the Flybe Group that will connect passengers travelling from Hong Kong to four destinations in the United Kingdom via Amsterdam or Paris.

Flybe is a British regional airline group based in Exeter in the south-west of England.

Under the new agreement, Cathay Pacific’s CX code will be placed on Flybe flights between Amsterdam and Birmingham / Southampton, and between Paris and Birmingham / Manchester / Exeter.

Tickets for the new codeshare services are now open for sale for travel commencing 12 January 2015.

The expanded codeshare marks the first time that Birmingham has been included in the codeshare network of Cathay Pacific.

Cathay Pacific and Flybe already have a codeshare agreement covering selected Flybe domestic flights between Manchester and seven UK destinations, namely Aberdeen, Belfast, Edinburgh, Exeter, Inverness, the Isle of Man and Southampton.
