Cathay Pacific Expands Network Coverage into Mexico

Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways is to boost its activities in North America after extending its co-operation with Alaska Airlines to include two destinations in Mexico. With effect from June 15 the airline’s ‘CX’ code will be displayed on Alaska Airlines’ flights from Los Angeles to Guadalajara and Mexico City, adding to its existing codeshare deals in the Americas with LAN Airlines from Lima, Preu and Santiago, Chile.

“We first entered the Latin American market in May 2010 and we are glad to see a further expansion of our presence there with Alaska Airlines, offering seamless connections for our passengers flying to Mexico,” said John Slosar, Chief Executive Officer, Cathay Pacific Airways.

The Asian airline first started working with Alaska Airlines in October last year and currently has a codeshare agreement in place on the US carrier’s services from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vancouver to Seattle and Portland.
