Hyderabad: Cathay Pacific has further strengthened its network in India with the resumption of its non-stop passenger service from Hyderabad. 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.
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.
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.”
This development will facilitate stronger business ties, tourism, and cultural exchange between these two dynamic regions. Additionally, the resumption introduces valuable belly cargo capacity, allowing us to offer more time-bound solutions for the Hyderabad market, particularly benefiting time-sensitive products such as perishables, mail, and courier services.”
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.”
“Hyderabad’s economic rise and growing outbound travel demand make it a vital addition to our network. 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 explained.
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 1 2025, including five flights per week from Hyderabad, double-daily flights from Delhi, ten flights per week from Mumbai, and daily flights from Bengaluru and Chennai.
