Hong Kong’s home carrier Cathay Pacific resumed its Chennai-Hong Kong service, with its first flight from Chennai International Airport on 2 February 2024 as part of a three-flights-per-week service. This development marks a noteworthy return to service after a four-year pause, underscoring Cathay Pacific’s commitment to delivering seamless global connectivity.
Rakesh Raicar, Regional General Manager – South Asia, Middle East, and Africa said: “The resumption of direct flights from Chennai to Hong Kong underscores our commitment to delivering outstanding service and connectivity. Embracing our philosophy of ‘Move Beyond’, we ensure an elevated travel experience for all. With the resurgence of both leisure and business travel from Chennai, along with a noticeable increase in student traffic, we are committed to providing services that cater to the diverse requirements of our customers. The strategic significance of key routes to and from Chennai aligns seamlessly with our dedication to offering enhanced connectivity.”
First launched in June 2008, Cathay Pacific’s Chennai-Hong Kong route showcases the importance of the Indian market to the airline. Operated by its state-of-the-art Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft, the non-stop service provides customers with the choice of 39 Business class flat-bed seats and 223 Economy seats for the highest standards of comfort and convenience; with return fares starting from Rs. 40,900.
Given the current positive trends observed among Chennai travellers, the resumption of flight services will empower customers to plan for both leisure and business travel during the upcoming summer months in April and May.
Cathay Pacific has introduced special fares from Chennai to key destinations, including the United States, Japan, and the Philippines. These special fares will be valid until 29 February 2024, providing customers with exclusive opportunities to experience Cathay Pacific’s renowned service.
