Cathay Pacific has initiated its first non-stop flights from Hong Kong to Munich, enhancing its European network. This development follows the recent introduction of seasonal flights to Rome on June 5 and precedes the airline's planned return to Brussels on August 3.
The Cathay Group, which includes low-cost carrier HK Express, is expanding its global reach, now serving 100 passenger destinations worldwide. In 2025, they plan to add a total of 18 new destinations to their network. Recent launches include Cathay Pacific's services to Rome and Munich, as well as HK Express flights to Cheongju and Daegu, with Miyako (Shimojishima) scheduled for next week.
Lavinia Lau, Cathay Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, expressed satisfaction with the new Munich route: “We are very pleased to welcome Munich into our global network for the first time, offering customers a direct connection between Hong Kong and a key economic, manufacturing and transportation hub in Europe. Customers can explore Munich’s diverse blend of culture, art and innovation or connect to a wide range of onward destinations in Europe through our codeshare partners."
