Hong Kong’s Cathay to fly to Munich, relaunch Brussels service next year
Flag carrier ‘excited’ to be adding new Munich service, as it takes number of European destinations to 11
Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific Airways will introduce direct flights to Munich, Germany, and relaunch its non-stop route to Brussels, Belgium, in the summer next year as the airline takes its number of destinations in Europe to 11.
Cathay Pacific said on Tuesday it would roll out the four weekly return services between Hong Kong and Munich from June 16. The city will be the carrier’s second destination in Germany, as it currently operates daily flights to Frankfurt.
The Brussels route will be relaunched on August 3 next year.
“We are very excited to be adding Munich to our network for the very first time as well as returning to Brussels next year, making these our 10th and 11th destinations in Europe, respectively,” Cathay chief customer and commercial officer Lavinia Lau Hoi-zee said.
“Hong Kong is a world-class international financial, commercial and aviation hub, and these flights will provide our customers with a direct connection between our home city and two of Europe’s important centres.”

The headwinds holding back Cathay Pacific's post-pandemic recovery
The airline last week said it would return to pre-pandemic passenger capacity by January 2025. It originally postponed its timeline of restoring pre-pandemic levels from the end of this year to the first quarter of next year.
