Cathay Pacific has announced on X that it will commence daily flights between Hong Kong and Changsha on November 4, 2025. This development marks the airline's 24th destination in Mainland China.
According to Cathay Pacific, Changsha, the capital of Hunan province, has evolved into a central hub for manufacturing, tech startups, and entertainment. The city is supported by a significant university population and tourist attractions such as Yuelu Mountain and Orange Isle. A nonstop connection through Hong Kong’s global hub provides exporters and inbound visitors with a one-stop network across Asia, Oceania, and the Americas while offering leisure travelers access to Hunan’s cuisine and heritage. The route also expands options for firms with supply chains in the Yangtze River economic belt and aligns with Hong Kong’s role as a connector for regional commerce and investment.
Starting November 4, 2025, Cathay Pacific will operate daily non-stop flights between Hong Kong and Changsha. With this addition, Changsha becomes the fifth Mainland destination added by the Cathay Group in 2025, bringing its overall Mainland network to 24 points served via Cathay Pacific and HK Express. The move is intended to increase customer choice and connectivity over Hong Kong, strengthening links for both travelers and businesses. These concrete schedule and network figures highlight that the airline is expanding measured capacity into inland China during the year-end timetable change.
