Cathay Pacific adds fourth weekly flight to perth Cathay Pacific Airways recently added the fourth weekly flight to Perth, Australia, as part of the airline's plan to add more flights and destinations through the year as its fleet expands. The new service, starting on April 2, will bring to 52 the number of direct flights the airline operates to six cities in Australia each week. This addition to Cathay Pacific's global network will create even more timely connections over Hong Kong between Australia to distinctions in Europe, Asia and North America. The Saturday evening departure from Hong Kong will be the airline's first week-end service to Perth and offer greater choice and convenience. The return flight's Sunday evening arrival in Hong Kong allows travellers to make the most of the approaching working week. The service will be operated with a two-class Airbus 330-300. In September last year, Cathay Pacific added a third daily service to Sydney - more than any other airline. Cathay Pacific will acquire nine aircraft in 2005 and six more by 2007. Cathay Pacific Airways Director Sales and Marketing James Barrington said, that "Australia is a key market and the addition of a fourth weekly service to Perth will provide greater travel convenience to passengers and underline Hong Kong's strength as a global hub and gateway to the Chinese Mainland." |
