Cathay Pacific expands India network with Hyderabad service

CATHAY Pacific Airways will commence four-weekly flights between Hong Kong and Hyderabad, the state capital of Andhra Pradesh, on December 1. Cathay Pacific chief executive, John Slosar, said: "Hyderabad is a fast-growing technology hub and we are excited by the opportunities it offers.” “This latest addition to the Cathay Pacific passenger network will promote ties between India and Hong Kong, and help to strengthen Hong Kong's position as a leading aviation hub,” he added. Operated using Airbus A330-300 aircraft, the Hyderabad service will depart from Hong Kong on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, and will complement the flag carrier’s existing flights to Mumbai, New Delhi and Chennai. The new service will also offer travellers from India onward connections to China, Australia and North America via Hong Kong. Sourced: TTG Asia
