Cathay to add 20 flights to India by March
Cathay Pacific is adding 20 weekly flights to three cities in India by March, the Hong Kong-based carrier said Tuesday.
At the end of February, Cathay will go from four to seven flights a week from Hong Kong to Delhi and Mumbai, operating one from each daily. From March 30, Cathay is adding another daily flight to Delhi, as well as three more weekly flights to Mumbai, for a total of 10 weekly, and four weekly flights to Chennai, a new destination for the carrier.
“We are very excited indeed about being able to boost our services to India — something we have been striving to do for decades,” said Tony Tyler, Cathay chief executive officer, in a statement.
Cathay’s sister airline Dragonair will also add a daily flight to Bangalore on May 1.
The airline first began flying to India in 1982
