Starting on the 28th of October, the airline will increase Perth-Hong Kong services from six to eleven per week and Brisbane-Hong Kong services from six to ten per week, with Sydney and Melbourne to retain their current four and three flights per day respectively.
The Cathay Group, which includes low-cost subsidiary HK Express, is aiming to return to 100 per cent of global pre-COVID capacity across its passenger network in the first quarter of 2025, and says it has reached 80 per cent as of the second quarter of this year.
“This is testament to our team who have been continuing to provide world-class service as we rebuild our flights and network. These new flights will give our Australian customers more choice when travelling to Hong Kong and beyond,” said Frosti Lau, southwest Pacific regional general manager at Cathay Pacific.
“This announcement is equally important for our cargo business as we grow our freight capacity. The updated schedule will see new opportunities available for businesses in Brisbane and Perth across the likes of fresh produce, pharma, specialty items and more.”
Perth and Brisbane aren't the only cities benefiting from the scheduling.
For the first time since October 2019 Cathay Pacific will return to Cairns.
Cathay will operate three flights per week between Cairns and Hong Kong from the 17th of December 2024 to 29 March 2025. This seasonal service will offer direct access to Hong Kong and provide seamless connections to the rest of the world, including London, China, India and the US.
