Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific will launch a new four-times-weekly service to Madrid, the capital city of Spain, from 2 June 2016.
The new flight will offer better connectivity to business and leisure customers who are travelling between Hong Kong and Madrid. It also provides convenient access to major destinations in Mainland China and Asia to those travelling from Southern Europe.
Madrid is a key financial and business centre and also draws leisure travellers from around the world.
The airline will use a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to run these flights. The aircraft will have a three class configuration of Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy Class. Also, Cathay’s in-flight entertainment is among the finest in the world, and presents several interesting options for flyers.
Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Ivan Chu said: “We are delighted to launch flights to Madrid and become the only airline to offer direct non-stop services between Hong Kong and Spain. Network expansion is part of our core strategy, underpinning our efforts to strengthen Hong Kong’s position as one of the world’s great international aviation hubs. We are committed to expanding our presence in Europe, having recently added Manchester, Zurich and Düsseldorf to our network, and we are now pleased to offer more choice and convenience to passengers travelling between Hong Kong and Madrid.”
