The new route is intended to support American Airlines' operations at one of its busiest hubs. Although this is Cathay Pacific's longest route, it does not rank among the world's ten longest. Cathay Pacific aims to increase its daily passenger flights to North America, including New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
