Modern aircraft and 7 flights per week

The carrier operates the flight with Airbus A350-900 aircraft, providing 7 flights per week in each direction, and restoring direct air connectivity between Dubai and Hong Kong via Cathay Pacific.

Direct connection to a network of Asian destinations

The resumption of daily flights provides passengers from the Emirates with direct access to the carrier’s hub in Hong Kong, and from there to a wide network of Asian destinations, at a time when international airlines are accelerating the return of international airlines to Dubai to keep pace with the momentum of international demand.

What does this mean for Arab tourists?
The resumption of these flights gives the Arab tourist a direct option to travel to Hong Kong without stopping, with the possibility of continuing the trip to multiple Asian destinations via the Cathay Pacific hub. This air connection also enhances business and tourism movement between the Emirates and Asia, and opens opportunities for Arab investors in the hospitality and services sectors related to passenger movement between the two regions.
