Travelers in North Queensland are celebrating the return of Cathay Pacific's seasonal flights to Hong Kong. The airline will operate its Airbus A330-300 three times a week between December 17 and March 29, 2025.
Cairns International Airport is welcoming this addition as it strengthens its position as a gateway to international tourism. Richard Barker, the airport's Chief Executive Officer, expressed excitement about reestablishing the partnership with Cathay Pacific. "Just over a year ago, a delegation from Tropical North Queensland visited Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong to discuss the road to their return. Now, we are celebrating the vital first step in reestablishing our long-running partnership. We are thrilled to welcome Cathay Pacific back to Tropical North Queensland."
The schedule includes flight CX147 departing Hong Kong at 01:05 and arriving in Cairns at 10:30, with the return flight CX146 leaving Cairns at 12:00 and reaching Hong Kong by 17:15. These flights will run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
