Cathay Pacific resumes Dallas flights, replaces American Airlines on Hong Kong route

Cathay Pacific's North American services showcase high-yielding markets despite smaller local passenger numbers, with a round-trip passenger count of about 24,000 and an average one-way fare of $1,824. Strong demand is expected from connections in both Hong Kong and Dallas, with key U.S. connections including Houston, Orlando, Miami, and Atlanta.

Important connections from Dallas via Hong Kong will include markets such as Ho Chi Minh City, Shanghai, Manila, Bangkok, Taipei, and Singapore. EVA Air is also set to enter this competitive market with its own direct flights to Dallas launching in October.

Cathay Pacific's scheduling for North America between May and December 2025 involves 3,875 one-way flights, a 4% reduction from pre-pandemic 2019 levels. Yet, due to greater A350-1000 use, the overall capacity remains stable with an increase in the number of seats per flight from 303 to 317. The airline offers up to 18 daily flights to the U.S. and Canada, with service extended to various destinations including Los Angeles, New York JFK, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, Boston, Chicago O'Hare, and the newly introduced Dallas/Fort Worth.

Cathay's revised maximum frequency schedule features triple daily flights to Los Angeles, New York JFK, and San Francisco, with other cities receiving varying weekly or daily service depending on the demand and aircraft utilization. The commitment to Dallas/Fort Worth consists of four weekly flights during the upcoming period.
