Australia And Canada Now Connected by Hong Kong Airlines’ Expanding Long-Haul Routes – Travel And Tour World

Hong Kong Airlines is set to relaunch its direct long-haul flights to Gold Coast, Australia, and Vancouver, Canada, beginning January 2025. This move is part of the airline’s broader plans to expand its long-haul network, enhancing connectivity between Hong Kong, China, and key global destinations.

Seasonal Boost for Gold Coast Services
To celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, the airline will increase its Gold Coast flights to four weekly services between January 17 and February 14. This additional capacity aims to accommodate heightened demand during the festive season, offering travelers greater flexibility and convenience.

Expanding Presence in North America and Australia
The Gold Coast route marks an important milestone as the airline reestablishes itself in Australia. Meanwhile, Vancouver will be the first destination in North America, with plans for further expansion into cities such as Toronto, Los Angeles, and Seattle in the future.
