Hong Kong’s Greater Bay Airlines will add three new destinations in Japan in the final quarter of this year, the company’s new head has said, while the future of the much-awaited services to Beijing and Shanghai remains uncertain.
The airline would start flying to Yonago in the western region of Tottori prefecture on October 27, with flights operating every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, chief executive officer Liza Ng Shiow-lan said on Thursday.
“In the coming months, we plan to introduce some new destinations to the Hong Kong market as well as the Japanese one. We hope it will encourage travellers to take the opportunity to visit Hong Kong, contributing a little to the travel industry,” Ng said.
Services will also be extended to Tokushima prefecture on Shikoku island with three weekly chartered flights and to Sendai in Miyagi prefecture with four, starting on November 16 and December 7 respectively.
