Cathay Pacific Airways has announced that it will increase the number of flights it offers to the key destinations of Paris, Shanghai and Jakarta, in response to customer demand. The service enhancements, which will be introduced from 29 March 2009, will see an additional four weekly flights from Hong Kong to Paris (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday), taking total weekly services to 14. Two more flights per day will be added to Cathay’s schedule to Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport, with early- and late-afternoon departures from Hong Kong, taking the airline’s total to three services daily (or 21 per week). Finally three extra weekly flights from Hong Kong to Jakarta will boost Cathay’s frequency on this route to 17 weekly flights.
Cathay Pacific’s Director Corporate Development, Ian Shiu, said; “We are pleased to be able to strengthen our services to these three cities and I’m sure passengers will appreciate the additional choice and increased convenience when planning their journeys. Overall, Cathay Pacific’s capacity will grow at less than 1% this year – a significant reduction on our original plan as a result of the current financial crisis – but we will take whatever opportunities we can to strengthen those routes where demand and revenue potential remain high.”
