Cathay Dragon will expand its Mainland China network through its codeshare arrangement with Shenzhen Airlines, adding Yantai, Jinan, and Harbin to its growing list of destinations following the new partnership development, while offering business travellers more flight options connecting northern China.
In the strengthened agreement, Cathay Dragon’s “KA” code will be placed on Shenzhen Airlines’ flights between Hong Kong and Yantai, Jinan, and Harbin, while Shenzhen Airlines’ “ZH” code will be placed on Cathay Dragon’s services between Hong Kong, Nanjing and Xi’an. Cathay Dragon customers travelling on Shenzhen Airlines codeshare flights will enjoy the convenience of checked-through baggage service to their travel destination.
