Cathay steps up it schedules

HONG KONG-based Cathay Pacific Airways is to add more flights to Australia, Canada, France, Japan and New Zealand, as part of the airline’s plan to reinstate extra passenger capacity in line with continued strong demand.  Chief Executive Tony Tyler said that the airline was returning to 2008 pre-financial crisis levels.  “The increased frequencies will offer passengers greater choice and further strengthen connections through Hong Kong.  Together with our new Milan and Moscow services, launched respectively in March and July this year, these service enhancements will certainly boost Hong Kong’s position as one of the world’s leading aviation hubs.”  From November, flights are being added on routes to Auckland, Brisbane, Cairns, Perth and Sydney, also Osaka and Toronto.  For its service between Hong Kong and Paris, the airline aims to gradually increase the number of flights to 11 per week by December. www.cathaypacific.com
