HYDERABAD, Apr 3: Cathay Pacific said on Thursday it has strengthened its network in India with the resumption of its non-stop passenger service from Hyderabad, the capital city of India’s Telangana state, recently.
The highly anticipated service is operating three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays and Sundays, ensuring seamless travel connections for customers to Hong Kong and beyond, the airlines said in a release here.
With this resumption, Cathay Pacific is now operating across five Indian cities Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad solidifying its role as a key carrier connecting India to its home hub, Hong Kong.
Cathay’s Regional General Manager South Asia, Middle East, and Africa, Rakesh Raicar, said: “Resuming flights to Hyderabad is a significant step in our India expansion strategy. With this resumption, we remain committed to providing Indian travellers with more choice, greater connectivity, and world-class service.
“As we continue to enhance our operations, our focus remains on fostering connections bringing people, businesses, and economies closer, while reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a leading international aviation hub,” he added.
Sharing his enthusiasm about the resumption of this key route, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd CEO Pradeep Panicker said: “We are delighted to welcome back Cathay Pacific to Hyderabad. The resumption of direct flight services between Hyderabad and Hong Kong represents a significant milestone in our international connectivity.”
The resumption of flights from Hyderabad underscores the significance of India to Cathay Pacific’s global network. The direct service is being operated by the airline’s Airbus A330-300 aircraft, featuring Business and Economy cabins.
Cathay Pacific now operates a total of 39 return passenger flights per week from five destinations in India. This will rise to 43 return flights per week by September one, 2025, including five flights per week from Hyderabad, double-daily flights from Delhi, 10 flights per week from Mumbai, and daily flights from Bengaluru and Chennai.
