Cathay Pacific resumes non-stop flights connecting Hyderabad and Hong Kong

Cathay Pacific resumes Hyderabad-Hong Kong flights, boosting business ties and offering time-bound cargo solutions, benefiting local economy.

Cathay Pacific has resumed its non-stop passenger service between Hyderabad and Hong Kong from March 31. The airline will operate the route three times a week, on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays, using its Airbus A330-300 aircraft, which offers both Business and Economy class cabins.

The airline had halted its Hyderabad operations in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pradeep Panicker, CEO of GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited welcomed the move, highlighting its significance for the local economy. “This development will facilitate stronger business ties, tourism, and cultural exchange. Additionally, the resumption introduces valuable belly cargo capacity, allowing us to offer more time-bound solutions for the Hyderabad market, particularly benefiting time-sensitive products such as perishables, mail, and courier services,” he said.

Cathay Pacific’s Regional General Manager for South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, Rakesh Raicar, highlighted Hyderabad’s growing importance in the airline’s network. “Hyderabad’s economic rise and growing outbound travel demand make it a vital addition to our network.
