Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, IrelandCathay Pacific is all set to bring its brand of super efficiency and high spec in-flight service to the sky-ways of Ireland this summer, when it begins its pioneering non-stop routes linking Hong Kong with Dublin from June 2018.
In addition to the Irish route Cathay is also connecting Hong Kong with the Danish capital city Copenhagen - on top of the non-stop flights between HK and Brussels, Belgium introduced in March - further strengthening the airline’s network as well as providing potential new trade and tourism opportunities between Europe and Asia.
"Growing our reach to new destinations... boosts the city’s status as Asia’s largest international hub and enables us to capture new and important sources of revenue"
Cathay Pacific chief executive officer Rupert Hogg said that the announced services will meet customer demand for non-stop travel to these vibrant cities, while at the same time providing Europe-based passengers with more convenient access to key destinations in Asia and Southwest Pacific through the airline’s home in Hong Kong:
“We’re excited to offer the only direct flights between Hong Kong and Brussels, Dublin and Copenhagen. These are all fantastic destinations and attract business and leisure travellers from the world over. We listened to our customers’ demands for more options and greater flexibility and have responded by building direct air links with these great cities.”
Hogg added: “Growing our reach to new destinations that aren’t served from Hong Kong boosts the city’s status as
Asia’s largest international hub and enables us to capture new and important sources of revenue."
