Cathay Pacific connects Hong Kong and Seattle with a five-times-weekly direct service

With this latest addition, the airline now operates close to 120 return flights per week to North America

Cathay Pacific today officially launched its non-stop passenger flights between

Hong Kong and Seattle, providing customers with the only direct connection

between the airline’s home city and Washington State’s vibrant cultural and tech

capital. Operating five times per week, the new service extends the airline’s

passenger network in North America to a total of nine destinations.

As part of Cathay’s 80th anniversary celebrations, the inaugural Hong Kong-

Seattle flight was operated by the airline’s special-edition Airbus A350 aircraft

featuring its iconic “lettuce leaf sandwich” livery, honouring eight decades of

moving its home city, people and customers forward since 1946.

Cathay Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau said: “As we celebrate

‘80 Years Together’ connecting Hong Kong with the world, the launch of our

Seattle service highlights the deepening ties between two global centres of

innovation, culture, and commerce. Seattle’s spirit of creativity and

entrepreneurship mirrors Hong Kong’s own energy, making this route especially

meaningful for us.

“Through the Cathay Group’s investment of well over HK$100 billion into our fleet,

cabin products, lounges and digital innovation, we are committed to offering

customers a seamless and elevated travel experience whether they are travelling

to Hong Kong or connecting to onward destinations through our global network

covering more than 100 destinations worldwide. This new service not only

enhances connectivity for business and leisure travellers, but also reinforces our

role in supporting Hong Kong’s position as a leading international aviation hub.”

Cathay Pacific’s Hong Kong-Seattle service is operated by its Airbus A350-900

aircraft, providing customers with fully flat beds in Business class, spacious seats

in Premium Economy, and comfort in the World’s Best Economy. Flight schedules

are as follows:

This summer, Cathay Pacific is operating close to 120 return flights per week to

Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and

Vancouver.

The new Seattle service also provides more options for cargo customers, with the

belly space on Cathay Pacific’s passenger flights complementing the close to 40

weekly return freighter flights operated by Cathay Cargo to North America during

the summer peak.
