Hong Kong Airlines will launch a new direct thrice-weekly service to Melbourne this December.
The new route will offer business travellers more flexible and convenient options for travel to Australia and has been timed to allow for convenient connections in Hong Kong.
For example, passengers departing from Melbourne can seamlessly connect to flights to Vancouver, Bali, Tokyo, and Osaka. Similarly, travellers from cities such as Shanghai, Hangzhou, Haikou, Sanya, and Fukuoka can enjoy an efficient and comfortable journey with a seamless transfer in Hong Kong en route to Melbourne.
The Hong Kong Airlines service to Melbourne will be operated by Airbus A330 aircraft. Flight HX013 will depart Hong Kong at 23.10 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, arriving in Australia at 11.30 the next morning. The return service, HX014, departs Melbourne at 13.00 and arrives in Hong Kong at 19.20.
“This has been a year of significant progress for our Australian market strategy,” says Hong Kong Airlines President Jeff Sun. “Following the resumption of our Gold Coast service in January and the launch of our Sydney route in June, we are delighted to add Melbourne as another key destination within just six months. This establishes Hong Kong Airlines as the second local carrier to offer direct flights to Australia’s major cities and marks 2025 as a crucial milestone in our international transformation.
