Cathay Pacific has unveiled plans to launch
non-stop flights to Brussels, Copenhagen and Dublin in Summer
2018.
The three new routes will be operated by Airbus
A350-900 aircraft which feature the latest seats and cabin design
and are equipped with the airline’s new inflight entertainment
system and Wi-Fi.
With the commencement of the new routes, the airline’s
network will cover 15 European destinations served direct from
Hong Kong.
“We’re excited to offer the only direct flights
between Hong Kong and Brussels, Dublin and Copenhagen. These are
all fantastic destinations and attract business and leisure
travellers from the world over. We listened to our customers’
demands for more options and greater flexibility and have
responded by building direct air links with these great cities,”
said Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Officer, Rupert Hogg. “Growing our reach to new destinations that
aren’t served from Hong Kong boosts the city’s status as Asia’s
largest international hub and enables us to capture new and
important sources of revenue.”
Cathay Pacific has in operation 18 of the 22
A350-900s it has on order, with the remaining four aircraft due
for delivery before the end of 2017. Additionally, the airline has
26 of the larger A350-1000 type scheduled to join its fleet from
2018.
