Cathay Pacific has launched its four-times-weekly flights between Hong Kong and Brussels, making a return to the Belgian capital.
The new service reestablishes an important direct link between the airline’s home city and the Heart of Europe, offering customers even greater choices, connectivity, and convenience.
With its return to Brussels and increased flight frequencies on other routes, Cathay Pacific is operating close to 100 return flights per week between Hong Kong and Europe this summer peak season. This includes five daily flights to London, daily flights to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Manchester, Milan, Paris, and Zurich, and four weekly flights to Barcelona, Brussels, Madrid, and Munich, and three weekly flights to Rome.
“We are very pleased to be back in Brussels, directly connecting our home hub with one of Europe’s major political centres and a tourism destination that’s steeped in history and culture,” Cathay chief customer and commercial officer, Lavinia Lau, said.
“Our new service offers excellent flight timings in both directions, enabling customers to wake up refreshed with a full day ahead whether they are arriving in Brussels or Hong Kong.
“Cathay has a long history in Europe stretching back more than four decades. This year alone, we have launched services to three new destinations in Europe with new flights to Rome and Munich having already taken off in June. With increased frequencies to other popular European cities this summer as well, weʼre making it even easier for customers to travel between Asia and Europe.”
Cathay Pacificʼs Hong Kong-Brussels flights are operated with the airlineʼs Airbus A350-900, one of the most advanced aircraft in its fleet. The A350-900 offers fully flat beds in Business, spacious seats in Premium Economy and extended comfort in the airlineʼs award-winning Economy.
Customers in all cabins can experience the world’s best inflight entertainment and connect to high-speed inflight Wi-Fi. Customers travelling in Business class as well as Cathay Diamond members enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi access when flying with Cathay Pacific.
