Cathay Pacific will increase the frequency of services to some of its most popular destinations across three continents, including San Francisco, Brisbane, Manchester, Paris and Madrid, providing business travellers with greater flexibility when connecting to these destinations.
San Francisco will be served three times a day, following the addition of four flights to its weekly schedule, from the end of this October. This new daily service will be operated by the airline’s Airbus A350. Flights to Los Angeles will be reduced from 28 to 21 per week. These changes come on top of previously announced additional services that will operate to Vancouver and Boston from late March.
During Australia’s peak summer period from late October to March, the airline will replace its current four-times weekly one-stop service to Brisbane via Cairns with direct flights to both cities. The switch means that Queensland’s capital will receive 11 non-stop flights from Hong Kong each week, while Cairns will be served non-stop three times a week.
In addition to the new non-stop services, Brisbane’s existing daily flight will be served by the A350 from March 26. Recently the airline has also announced that from late October, it will increase capacity on its four-times daily Sydney route by operating a third flight with a Boeing 777-300ER.
Cathay Pacific will also continue to expand its European network with frequency increases to France, Spain and the United Kingdom. Madrid will see an increase from four to five flights per week from late October, while a sixth weekly flight will operate to Manchester from early December. At the same time, Paris will see the resumption of an 11th weekly service.
Cathay Pacific currently operates 108 weekly flights to North America, 93 weekly flights to Europe, and 75 weekly flights to Australia. The airline will launch a new four times weekly service to Tel Aviv on March 26 and will introduce new seasonal services to both Barcelona (summer) and Christchurch (winter) later this year.
