The extra services are part of an ongoing initiative to strengthen Dragonair’s network after the airline became part of the Cathay Pacific Group last September.
Since the integration, Dragonair has added two new destinations, Phuket and Busan, and increased the number of flights on more than 10 routes in its network.
“We are pleased to bring more flexibility and convenience for travellers and we now provide at least a daily service to most of our destinations,” said Dragonair CEO Kenny Tang.
“The addition of these extra services gives travellers more options, while we can help attract more tourists to visit Hong Kong and boost the city’s position as a leading aviation hub.”
Dragonair also plans to operate 30 charter flights between 15 July and 26 August to meet expected high travel demand over the upcoming summer peak season.
The majority of the charters will operate to Japan, with 10 flights to Sendai, seven to Kita Kyushu, three to Miyazaki and three to Kagoshima. Another two charters are in the pipeline for Oita.
“The summer holiday period is a very busy time for the airline and from our experience, Japan is always one of the popular choices for Hong Kong travellers,” said Tang.
Dragonair will also operate five charter flights to Langkawi in Malaysia.
