Hong Kong-based airline Cathay Pacific will resume its flights to and from Colombo, beginning February 2, 2024, after a hiatus of four years.
The airline is returning with its Airbus A330 aircraft, offering three flights a week operating from Colombo.
The aircraft is configured in a two-cabin-class layout, with 293 seats, comprising 28 in Business class and 265 in Economy.
For both business and leisure travellers, the flights will serve as a gateway, offering exceptional connectivity via Hong Kong to the Chinese Mainland, North America, Northeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific.
As Sri Lanka continues to welcome a growing number of leisure and business travellers, while recognising the diversity of Colombo’s travellers, Cathay Pacific said it is gearing up to embark on a new chapter of connectivity, convenience and customer satisfaction.
Regional Head Customer Travel and Lifestyle South Asia, Middle East and Africa Anand Yedery said, “This is an important occasion as we announce the relaunch of flights from Colombo.
Cathay Pacific’s return not only signifies our commitment to our customers but also showcases the vital role Sri Lanka plays in our network.
In the past few years, we have invested in our product and inflight experience, including the dining menu, entertainment and more. We are excited to have our customers experience these service enhancements, convenient connections to key destinations worldwide such as Melbourne and Toronto and our intermodal air-to-sea ferry options for travel into the Greater Bay Area. We look forward to welcoming Sri Lankan travellers aboard our flights and delivering a journey that exceeds their expectations.
