Cathay links with Qantas

More options for passengers on 25 routes between Asia and Australia are now on offer after Cathay Pacific and Qantas last week signed a codeshare deal that among other things will see frequent flyers of both airlines earn more points.

The agreement is effective from 28 October and will see Cathay Pacific add its code to 13 routes on Qantas’ domestic network in Australia.

In turn, Qantas will add its code to Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon’s services within Asia from Hong Kong to ten cities across India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, and on Cathay services from Hong Kong to Perth and Cairns.

Cathay chief customer and commercial officer Paul Loo welcomed the agreement, saying a closer relationship between the two airlines was a win-win for the carriers’ customers.

“As one of the founding members of the oneworld alliance, we are delighted to work with our oneworld partner, Qantas, to offer our customers more travel options within Australia,” he said.

Qantas International CEO Alison Webster said the agreement was part of Qantas’ strategy of operating to key global hubs and providing customers with access to an expanded network with airline partners based in those ports.
