This move complements the existing flights to Milan Malpensa Airport, which are currently operating five times per week and will increase to daily services during the summer.
The airline emphasized the significance of returning to Rome in 2025 as the city celebrates the Catholic Church’s Jubilee, an event that occurs every 25 years. Lavinia Lau, Cathay Pacific's chief customer and commercial officer, stated, “We know our customers have been eagerly anticipating the return of this route, and we are delighted to be returning to Italy’s marvellous capital this summer.”
Cathay Pacific will operate the route with Airbus A350-900 aircraft, offering fully flat beds in business class and spacious seating options in premium economy and economy class. The flight schedule indicates that CX293 will depart Hong Kong at 00:45 local time and arrive in Rome at 7:50 local time. The return flight, CX292, is scheduled to leave Rome at 11:45 and reach Hong Kong by 5:20 the following day.
