Cathay Pacific to start Hong Kong-Auckland service from December
HONG KONG's Cathay Pacific has announced plans to launch a new seasonal service between Hong Kong and Christchurch, New Zealand that will operate from December 1 2017 and February 28 2018, subject to regulatory approval. It marks the first direct connection between the two cities.
The non-stop Christchurch service will operate three times per week, departing Hong Kong on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays using Airbus A350 aircraft.
The new service will complement Cathay Pacific's current seasonal double daily flights to Auckland as well as strategic partner Air New Zealand's daily service between Hong Kong and Auckland, a statement from the Hong Kong-based carrier said.
Cathay Pacific and Air New Zealand will also extend their strategic alliance partnership on services between Hong Kong and New Zealand for a further five years until 2022, subject to ongoing regulatory approvals.
"We are pleased to extend our alliance with Air New Zealand, which has allowed our two airlines to maximise synergies and better meet our customers' needs," Cathay Pacific director corporate development and IT Paul Loo said.
