Cathay Pacific welcomed the launch of its new non-stop flights between Hong Kong and Munich, marking the first time the airline has directly connected its home hub to the Bavarian capital.
These flights further bolster Cathay Pacific’s presence in Europe, coming shortly after the launch of its seasonal flights to Rome on 5 June and ahead of its return to Brussels on 3 August.
Together with low-cost carrier HK Express, Cathay Pacific continues to launch passenger services to more destinations around the world.
The Cathay Group has now reached 100 passenger destinations worldwide, providing customers with more connectivity and choices when they travel.
The two airlines are adding a total of 18 destinations to their combined passenger network in 2025, with more announcements still to come.
This month alone, Cathay Pacific has launched services to Rome and Munich, and HK Express has launched flights to Cheongju and Daegu, with Miyako (Shimojishima) coming next week.
Lavinia Lau, Cathay chief customer and commercial officer said: “We are very pleased to welcome Munich into our global network for the first time, offering customers a direct connection between Hong Kong and a key economic, manufacturing and transportation hub in Europe.
“Customers can explore Munich’s diverse blend of culture, art and innovation, or connect to a wide range of onward destinations in Europe through our codeshare partners.
“Meanwhile, customers travelling to Hong Kong can connect to the Cathay Group’s extensive passenger network via our home hub, which now covers 100 destinations worldwide.
“This global connectivity reinforces Hong Kong’s status as a leading international aviation hub and a premier gateway linking the Chinese Mainland and the world.
“As we grow and expand, we remain focused on adding more flights and destinations for our customers and providing them with a seamless journey.”
