Cathay Pacific has announced an updated winter schedule for 2024-2025, increasing its flight frequency between Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport and Hong Kong. Starting from 2 January 2025 to 1 March 2025, the airline will operate four return flights per week, up from the current three. Furthermore, the frequency will increase to five weekly return flights between 2 March 2025 and 30 March 2025.
The flights will be serviced by Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A330 aircraft, featuring flatbeds in Business Class, along with Premium Economy and Economy cabins. Passengers will also have the convenience of connecting to onward destinations via the airline’s Hong Kong hub.
Rakesh Raicar, Regional General Manager for South Asia, Middle East, and Africa, emphasized the airline’s focus on enhancing connectivity: “As we continue to strengthen our network, we are excited to boost connectivity between Colombo, Hong Kong, and beyond, providing our customers with greater flexibility and choice.”
In addition to passenger services, the increased flight frequency brings added cargo capacity, particularly benefiting time-sensitive shipments like perishables, mail, and courier services. This expanded belly capacity will help meet the growing demand for reliable and efficient cargo solutions in the Colombo market.
