Cathay Pacific to operate out of New York JFK Terminal 8

HONG Kong's Cathay Pacific is to relocate its operations at New York's John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Terminal 8, starting January 15.

The airline said in a release that the move will benefit its customers through added convenience and enhanced connectivity.



The relocation of its passenger handling services from Terminal 7 will provide its customers with a more seamless travel experience when connecting to flights operated by Cathay Pacific's oneworld partner, American Airlines, which has a significant presence at Terminal 8.



Flight CX845, with a scheduled departure of 00.45 local time on January 15 , will be Cathay Pacific's final departure from Terminal 7. All subsequent flights to Hong Kong will depart from Terminal 8, which is the largest passenger terminal at JFK and twice the size of Madison Square Garden.



Cathay Pacific Director Service Delivery James Ginns said: "The first-rate facilities and amenities available (in Terminal 8), in addition to the significant connectivity advantages that the move brings, will further enhance the delivery of our brand promise of a Life Well Travelled."



Cathay Pacific operates more non-stop flights between Hong Kong and New York than any other airline, connecting two of the world's most important financial centres with four daily services to New York, including one via Vancouver and one daily flight to Newark Liberty International Airport.



In total, Cathay Pacific operates 108 scheduled passenger flights per week to North America, including 84 flights per week to Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles New York and San Francisco in the United States and 24 flights per week to Toronto and Vancouver in Canada.
