HONG KONG, 28 April 2025: Cathay Pacific expanded its passenger network by launching direct flights between Hong Kong and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on 24 April 2025.
Dallas marks the sixth new passenger destination launched by the Cathay Group, which includes Cathay Pacific and low-cost carrier HK Express. A total of 15 new destinations have already been announced for 2025, and more are to come.
This new route heralds an expansion of Cathay Pacific’s North American network, further enhancing the global connectivity of its home hub, Hong Kong, while providing greater choice and convenience for customers.
To mark the occasion, Cathay Director of Customer Travel Erica Peng and Airport Authority Hong Kong Executive Director of Airport Operations Steven Yiu Chung gathered at Hong Kong International Airport to celebrate the new service’s launch.
Cathay Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau said: “The launch of our direct passenger flights between Hong Kong and Dallas for the very first time demonstrates our commitment to providing our customers with convenient access to the most exciting destinations around the world from our Hong Kong hub. As a group, we are continuing to add more ports to our passenger network, which will exceed 100 destinations within the first half of this year.
“With our Cathay Pacific codeshares and other flight options, customers can connect to domestic destinations in the United States as well as destinations in Central and South America via Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. We also look forward to welcoming customers from the dynamic city of Dallas and the wider Americas onboard our flights as they travel to Hong Kong or connect to the many onward destinations available through our extensive global network.”
Cathay Pacific operates four return flights per week between Hong Kong and Dallas using its modern Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, featuring business, premium economy and economy cabins.
Flight schedule
During the peak summer period, Cathay Pacific will operate more than 110 return flights per week to eight destinations in North America, including Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Toronto, and Vancouver.
In addition to Dallas, Cathay Pacific will launch a new nonstop service to Urumqi on 28 April, followed by Rome on 5 June, Munich on 16 June, and Brussels on 3 August.
