Cathay Pacific is looking to spread its wings further in India by connecting more cities to Hong Kong. The airline recently introduced its four-times-a-week service between Hong Kong and Hyderabad, and increased frequency from Chennai.
With this, the carrier operates 35 flights between India and HK (two daily flights from Delhi, 10 flights a week from Mumbai, daily from Chennai and four a week from Hyderabad).
“Being one of the fastest-growing economies, India is an important market for us, both for passenger and cargo services,” said Toby Smith, General Manager- Product, Cathay Pacific Airways. In addition to connecting with Hong Kong, the new services will also facilitate connecting India with China, Australia and North America via Hong Kong.
Besides, in a bid to enhance its customer experience, the Hong Kong-headquartered Cathay Pacific Airlines has introduced a new ‘premium economy’ class. The new class features wider seats, increased seat pitch (the distance between every two seats in a column) with bigger recline and 10.6-inch personal LCD screen that also comes with a multi-port connector to offer the passenger an option to connect one’s personal devices.
It has also launched its renovated First Class Lounge – The Wing - at Hong Kong International Airport. Designed by Foster + Partners, The Wing boasts an expanded dining area with a buffet counter that offers a range of appetisers, Asian and Western dishes, and a full-service bar.
“Our target is to be the premium choice of our customers, and we are pleased about the progress we have made so far in this direction,” Smith told this correspondent who went on a familiarisation trip to Hong Kong on the airline’s invitation.
