While Cathay Pacific may be the most famous Hong Kong-based airline, it is far from the only one. Hong Kong Airlines is another notable airline based at Hong Kong International Airport, and was established in 2006. It offers flights to almost 30 destinations in the Asia-Pacific region and operates a fleet of around 30 passenger aircraft. Hong Kong Airlines has continued to expand over the last few years and plans to challenge Cathay Pacific for dominance on many key routes.
