Hong Kong Airlines Eyes Flights On Competitive Route To Melbourne

This would mark the third international carrier on the route between HKG and MEL, and the first new entrant since Virgin Australia exited the route.

Hong Kong Airlines is upgrading its customer experience as it seeks to challenge Cathay Pacific and become a major full-service carrier.

Cathay Pacific is one of the oldest airlines in Asia, and its livery has evolved and changed considerably over the years.

The airline will begin flights on October 26, 2025.

The Hong Kong airline expects to receive the Boeing 777X in 2027 or even later.

Passengers flying on this major airline’s popular route will be treated to luxe new cabins following a major revamp.

Hong Kong Airlines returned to the Hong Kong – Vancouver route in January with twice-weekly frequencies.

However, Cathay Pacific warned about the potential implications of trade conflicts originating in other countries in 2025.

Cathay Pacific is the only airline flying between Hong Kong and Riyadh, which will now include its fourth weekly itinerary.

The airline operates a modest network of short and long-haul international flights from Hong Kong International Airport.
