New fleet

HK Express marked the arrival of its first Airbus A321neo in Hong Kong on 29th March, with a ceremony hosted by the airline management. The new aircraft, painted in a refreshed livery, is able to accommodate up to 236 passengers, with 18-inch-wide seats, a wider aisle, and plenty of overhead storage space ensuring a comfortable inflight experience. Its latest engine technology offers a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 20% per seat. HK Express will welcome a total of 16 A321neo aircraft up to 2025.

With demand for leisure travel recovering rapidly in the region, the low-cost carrier operated more than 430 flights per week in April, returning to pre-pandemic levels. HK Express expects to operate more than 500 flights per week this summer.
