Cathay Pacific to Codeshare with MIAT Mongolian Airlines

Cathay Pacific and MIAT Mongolian Airlines have signed a new codeshare agreement, which will benefit customers of both airlines with a new direct link to Ulaanbaatar, one of Asia’s fastest-growing business capitals, from July 12, 2017.

Cathay Pacific will place its “CX” code on MIAT’s four-times-weekly service between Hong Kong and Ulaanbaatar, the Mongolian capital. At the same time, MIAT Mongolian Airlines will place its “OM” code on selected Cathay Pacific services between Hong Kong and Singapore, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney.

Eligible MIAT customers connecting on Cathay Pacific flights via its Hong Kong hub can choose to relax at one of the airline’s premium lounges located at Terminal 1 at Hong Kong International Airport. These include The Wing, The Cabin, The Bridge, and the lounges at The Pier.

“We are very happy to work with MIAT Mongolian Airlines in adding Ulaanbaatar to our expanding global network,” says Paul Loo, Cathay Pacific chief customer and commercial officer. “Mongolia is an attractive destination in that it appeals to both tourists and business travellers alike thanks to its pristine natural landscapes, rich culture, and rapid development. Ulaanbaatar is quickly making a name for itself as an important business hub, one which we expect to grow on the back of this new agreement.”

In addition to the convenience provided by the codeshare agreement, passengers travelling on these services will enjoy the benefits of through-checked luggage.
