Cathay Pacific has resumed its non-stop flights between Hong Kong and Brussels, marking the airline's return to the Belgian capital as of August 3. The service operates four times a week, reestablishing a direct connection between Hong Kong and Brussels.

The reinstated route is part of Cathay Pacific’s broader expansion in Europe for the summer peak season. The airline is now operating close to 100 return flights weekly between Hong Kong and various European destinations. This includes five daily flights to London, daily services to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Manchester, Milan, Paris, and Zurich, as well as several weekly flights to cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, Munich, Rome, and Brussels.

Lavinia Lau, Chief Customer and Commercial Officer at Cathay Pacific, commented: “We are very pleased to be back in Brussels, directly connecting our home hub with one of Europe’s major political centres and a tourism destination that’s steeped in history and culture. Our new service offers excellent flight timings in both directions, enabling customers to wake up refreshed with a full day ahead whether they are arriving in Brussels or Hong Kong.
