Cathay Pacific to re-start Dubai-Hong Kong services

Hong Kong’s flagship carrier - Cathay Pacific will resume non-stop weekly flights between Dubai and Hong Kong from May 21.

These will operate from Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport, and provide passengers’ access to Hong Kong and onward connections across the carrier’s Asian network. The carrier will deploy the Airbus A330-300 on the route.

Vishnu Rajendran, Area Manager – Middle East, Cathay Pacific, “Dubai has been an important route for us for more than four decades. The resumption taps into resurgent travel demand and underlines our ongoing efforts to recover our business from the impact of the pandemic.”

Cathay Pacific has been keeping a close eye on Middle Eastern routes to run its passenger and cargo flights.

“Our teams have been monitoring demand as well as the feasibility of routes for both our business verticals,” said Rajendran. “While our passenger operations have been impacted due to COVID-19, cargo business has been operating to meet the market demand.”
