Hong Kong gets direct link with Abu Dhabi

Cathay Pacific Airways has introduced a Hong Kong to Abu Dhabi four times weekly service.

It is the first ever non-stop operation between the capital of the UAE and China’s Special Administrative Region. The route promises to offer Abu Dhabi residents efficient connections through Hong Kong to all major destinations in the Asia Pacific region, including Mainland China, the Philippines, Korea, Japan and Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand.

The route will be flown by wide-body Airbus 330 and A340 aircraft featuring a flat bed in Business Class, a fixed-back shell seat in Economy Class and full audio and video on demand in all classes.

Cathay Pacific has been serving the emirates for more than 30 years and currently offers a double-daily operation to and from Dubai. The airline connects to 17 cities in mainland China through its sister airline, Dragonair.
