Cathay Pacific is expanding its North American network with a new non-stop service between Hong Kong and Dallas/Fort Worth, one of the largest hubs in the Oneworld alliance, and is the first new destination in the United States since 2019. Previously, this segment was operated by American Airlines, but it suspended the route in the first quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19.
Cathay Pacific is the fourth Oneworld airline to announce flights to Dallas/Fort Worth, along with Fiji Airways, Finnair and Iberia. Other existing Oneworld airlines that have added routes or capacity to this destination include British Airways, Japan Airlines, Qantas and Qatar Airways.
“With our unique position of having deep roots in Hong Kong, being proudly part of China and connecting the world, Cathay continues to build Hong Kong as a leading international aviation hub that connects people to the most exciting places in the world,” said Lavinia Lau, Chief Commercial and Customer Officer, Cathay Group.

In total, Cathay Cargo currently has up to 37 weekly flights scheduled to North America.
