Reconnecting Sri Lanka with Cathay Pacific

The airline will operate three non-stop flights per week from Colombo to Hong Kong from 2 February, 2024

Hong Kong’s home carrier Cathay Pacific’s much awaited direct flights between Sri Lanka and Hong Kong are officially back following a four-year hiatus, resuming a legacy of serving the Sri Lankan market for over 30 years.

The first flight from Bandaranaike International Airport successfully took off today (Friday, 2 February), marking the return of Cathay Pacific’s three-times-weekly service from Colombo, operating on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Flights are operated by the airline’s Airbus A330 aircraft, offering 28 fully flat seats in Business class and 265 spacious seats in Economy, ensuring a comfortable and premium travel experience for all customers.

For both business and leisure travellers, the flights will serve as a gateway, offering exceptional connectivity via Hong Kong to Asia, the Southwest Pacific and North America. The airline is also promoting special fares for students travelling from Colombo to Sydney, Auckland, Singapore, Tokyo, and Kuala Lumpur.

As Sri Lanka continues to welcome a growing number of leisure and business travellers, and while recognising the diversity of Colombo’s passengers, Cathay Pacific is embarking on a new chapter of connectivity, convenience, and customer satisfaction.
