The Cathay Group is set to enhance travel options between Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland this summer by offering nearly 300 return flights weekly during the peak period. This expansion aims to strengthen Cathay's direct services while addressing the increasing demand for travel between the Chinese Mainland and the global market.
Cathay Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau stated, “We are delighted to be expanding our flight schedule in the Chinese Mainland this summer with services to 20 passenger destinations and increased frequencies on many of our popular routes. With our unique position of having deep roots in Hong Kong, being proudly part of China, and connecting the world, we are committed to providing a seamless travel experience for our customers whether they are flying to, from or via our home hub.”
The airline's focus targets the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta regions, key strategic areas in China. Cathay will reinforce flight capacities and schedules to offer frequent connections to Beijing and Shanghai throughout the day. Other major cities in the Chinese Mainland will also see increased flight frequencies to meet the needs of both leisure and business travelers.
