Cathay Pacific increase frequency to Colombo

Hong Kong’s home carrier Cathay Pacific has announced a new winter schedule for 2024-2025 and now will be operating four return flights per week up from the current three between Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport and Hong Kong from 2 January 2025 to 1 March 2025.

“We also have plans to further increase the frequency to five return flights per week from 2 March 2025 to 30 March 2025. These flights will be operated by the airline’s Airbus A330 Aircraft, equipped with flatbeds in Business class, as well as Premium Economy and Economy cabins,” Cathay

Regional General Manager for South Asia, Middle East, and Africa Rakesh Raicar.

Customers wishing to continue their journey to onward destinations can connect onto flights to other cities via athay Pacific’s home hub, Hong Kong.

“As we continue to strengthen our network, we are excited to boost connectivity between Colombo, Hong Kong and beyond, which will provide our customers with greater flexibility and choice.”

“The additional frequency also means additional belly capacity for our cargo services from Colombo. This increased capacity allows Cathay to offer more priority shipment solutions for the Colombo market, meeting the growing demand for efficient and reliable cargo services.”

“This particularly benefits time-sensitive shipments such as perishables, mail, and courier services, ensuring regular and consistent deliveries.”
