Shanghai gets second Hong Kong connection

CATHAY PACIFIC has welcomed the announcement by the HKSAR Government that Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai will be added as a destination for scheduled air services between Hong Kong and the mainland of China.  Before the completion of Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport in 1999, Hongqiao served as the city’s main international gateway.  It is just ten miles to the west of the central area and earlier this year was added to the Metro network.  Pudong is 25 miles to the east and whilst it does have the advantage of the high speed Maglev train its Shanghai terminus is outside the central area.  Cathay Pacific currently operates three flights daily between Hong Kong and the Pudong International Airport in Shanghai. www.cathaypacific.com
