Nonstop flights between Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) and Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) will run on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays between June 5th and October 25th. Cathay will use Airbus A350-900 aircraft on this route. These offer 20 Business Class, 28 Premium Economy, and 214 Economy Class seats.
Rome is not the only destination being added to the map. Cathay Pacific is launching direct flights to Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) in March, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) in April, Munich International Airport (MUC) in June, and Brussels Airport (BRU) in August.
Cathay Pacific’s Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, Lavinia Lau, said:
Cathay Pacific’s history in Italy stretches back close to 40 years when we first launched direct flights between Hong Kong and Rome in 1986. We know our customers have been eagerly anticipating the return of this route, and we are delighted to be returning to Italy’s marvelous capital this summer. Whether they are traveling for business, leisure or the 2025 Jubilee celebrations, we look forward to welcoming customers onboard our flights to experience our world-class service.”
Anthony’s Take: It’s great to see this route return. Cathay flew it for nearly 40 years. Some other great adds for Europe and Dallas are also nice choices for oneworld® flyers.
