Cathay Pacific is set to expand its operations in North America later this year. On Thursday, the Hong Kong-based airline said it will increase service on a three-month-old route.
Beginning in October, the carrier’s Hong Kong to Dallas/Fort Worth route will operate on a daily basis. In an April interview with AirlineGeeks, Cathay Pacific’s Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau hinted at “new opportunities” in the U.S., including daily flights to Dallas/Fort Worth.
“But I think the immediate target I gave to my team is [to] make sure that the DFW flight is a success,” Lau said. “And if possible, step it up to a daily flight as soon as possible because I think we need a good daily product in order to achieve all the connections.”
The route, which launched in April as the only non-stop passenger service between Texas and Hong Kong, is currently operated four times per week. The soon-to-be daily route will be operated by an Airbus A350-1000.
Westbound flights from Hong Kong (Flight CX876) are scheduled to depart at 4:05 p.m. local time and arrive in Dallas/Fort Worth at 5:55 p.m. the same day. Eastbound service from Dallas/Fort Worth (Flight CX875) will depart at 10:55 p.m. and arrive in Hong Kong at 4:35 a.m. two days later.
At approximately 8,120 miles, the service is Cathay Pacific’s longest by distance. American previously served the route until pulling out in early 2020.
Bookings for the daily service will open on Thursday. The airline said the expanded schedule reflects strong demand since the route’s debut and will provide additional connectivity for both passengers and cargo between North Texas and Asia.
With this adjustment, Dallas/Fort Worth becomes Cathay Pacific’s eighth North American gateway served by nonstop flights from its Hong Kong hub.
