Cathay Pacific to add second daily non-stop service to Jakarta

/noticias.info/ Cathay Pacific Airways today announced it will add a second daily non-stop service to Jakarta from the start of the winter season, offering passengers the choice of making a morning or afternoon departure and quicker access to connections through the Hong Kong hub.

The new service operated by a two-class Airbus 330-300 will start 1 November. It will depart Hong Kong at 16.15 and return from Jakarta at 09.20 the following morning, complementing the existing daily non-stop Airbus 340-300 service that departs Hong Kong at 09.30 and returns from Jakarta at 14.50. It will also replace the current daily one-stop service to Jakarta via Singapore. Singapore services will not be affected by the change.

Cathay Pacific this month added a third daily service to Los Angeles and will soon operate a fourth daily flight to London as part of its ongoing programme to strengthen Hong Kong as a global hub and gateway to the Chinese Mainland. The airline has so far this year launched services to Xiamen and freighter services to Shanghai and added more flights to Amsterdam, Beijing, Denpasar, Frankfurt, Ho Chi Minh City, Johannesburg, Nagoya and Perth. Later this year the airline will inaugurate new freighter services to Atlanta and Dallas.

Cathay Pacific Director Corporate Development Augustus Tang said: “The second non-stop Jakarta service will offer faster, more convenient flight times and attract more passengers wishing to make connections in Hong Kong. It will strengthen our regional network and the Hong Kong hub.”
