Skytrans cleared for A319 operations as second touches down

The daily service, to launch on 20 June, will give Sydney Airport six Hong Kong flights per day in total between three carriers, and a 20 per cent boost in seat capacity over current levels. It will likely use Hong Kong Airlines’ A330-300 aircraft.

The carrier on Wednesday said it would add 49,000 seats on Sydney and Melbourne services from the Queensland destination, commencing in July.
