Cathay Pacific is set to reintroduce non-stop flights between Hong Kong and Adelaide starting November 11, 2025. This service will operate three times a week during the winter season, reconnecting the airline's home hub with South Australia's capital city. Lavinia Lau, Cathay Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, stated: "We are thrilled to be reconnecting our home hub with Adelaide, a bustling city that holds particular significance for Cathay Pacific."
Adelaide marks Cathay Pacific's eighth destination in the Southwest Pacific. The airline already operates year-round services to Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney and offers seasonal services to Cairns and Christchurch.
Lau highlighted the importance of this route: “With our return to Adelaide, we will be operating close to 90 return flights per week to eight destinations in the Southwest Pacific at the peak of this winter season." The Airbus A350-900 aircraft will service this route offering different class options for passengers.
