Cathay Pacific Airways of Hong Kong announced on Tuesday that from Oct. 28 it will operate a sixth daily flight from Hong Kong to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan.
The additional flight will depart Hong Kong early in the morning to provide more options throughout the day for business travelers and the leisure travel market.
Besides, Cathay Pacific's sister airline Dragonair announced Tuesday the launch of its new non-stop services from Hong Kong to Fukuoka and Sendai, Japan, which will also start from 28 October.
This new service will operate daily non-stop from Hong Kong to Fukuoka, supplementing Cathay Pacific's existing daily Fukuoka flight that goes via Taipei. While Sendai becomes a new addition to the Cathay Pacific network when the new service begins operation.
The above service enhancements mean the number of flights operated by the Cathay Pacific Group from Hong Kong to Japan will increase from 91 to 101 each week.
