Cathay Pacific Cargo Launches Flights to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Cathay Pacific Cargo today launched a new scheduled freighter service between Hong Kong (HKG) and Riyadh (RUH).

The new flights are expected to meet the strong demand for shipments of e-commerce and other general cargo such as garments.

Cathay Pacific Cargo has launched a number of scheduled and charter services recently to meet the growing air cargo needs of its customers.

On 16 December 2020, the airline launched a seasonal cargo service between Hong Kong and Hobart in Australia, providing an important air freight lane for the export of fresh produce from Hobart to various parts of Asia via Hong Kong. Meanwhile in September, the airline launched a temporary service to Pittsburgh to serve the seasonal upsurge in demand.

In addition to operating a full freighter flight schedule, Cathay Pacific has also been operating thousands of pairs of cargo-only passenger flights, some with cargo loaded in the passenger cabins, and chartered hundreds of pairs of flights from its all-cargo subsidiary Air Hong Kong to provide additional air freight capacity.

Cathay's Riyadh flights will operate once per week every Tuesday with a stopover in Dubai (DWC) on the return flight to Hong Kong, with the following schedule:
