Cathay is committed to bolstering its ASEAN network and enhancing connectivity with Hong Kong in order to seize growth opportunities offered by these dynamic regional markets and cement Hong Kong’s international aviation hub status. Cathay Pacific and HK Express currently operate to 17 ASEAN destinations, with HK Express planning to launch new routes to Phu Quoc in Vietnam and Penang in Malaysia, in the fourth quarter of 2024.
