Cathay Pacific codeshares with MIAT Mongolian Airlines
HONG Kong's Cathay Pacific and MIAT Mongolian Airlines have entered into a new codeshare agreement, which starts from July 12.
Under the arrangement, Cathay Pacific will place its "CX" code on MIAT's four-times weekly service between Hong Kong and Ulaanbaatar, the historic Mongolian capital, providing its customers with a new, direct link to one of the most unique and fastest-growing destinations in Asia.
At the same time, MIAT Mongolian Airlines will place its "OM" code on selected Cathay Pacific services between Hong Kong and Singapore, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
Cathay Pacific chief customer and commercial officer Paul Loo welcomed the new partnership, saying the agreement underlines the airline's commitment to provide its customers with enhanced connectivity to an ever-increasing number of new destinations.
"Mongolia is an attractive destination in that it appeals to both tourists and business travellers alike thanks to its pristine natural landscapes, rich culture and rapid development. Ulaanbaatar is quickly making a name for itself as an important business hub, one which we expect to grow on the back of this new agreement."
MIAT Mongolian Airlines president and CEO Tamir Tumurbaatar added: "This is a winning step for both airlines and will provide our passengers with convenient access to Singapore and Australia via the super hub in Hong Kong. This cooperation is very significant for our landlocked country's national flag carrier."
