Cathay Dragon, Cathay Pacific’s subsidiary, will add three mainland cities to its list of destinations, including the eastern cities of Yantai and Jinan in Shandong Province, and Harbin in northeast China under a new codeshare agreement.
Cathay Dragon’s “KA” code will be assigned to Shenzhen Airlines’ flights between Hong Kong and Yantai, Jinan and Harbin, while Shenzhen Airlines’ “ZH” code will be used for Cathay Dragon’s services between Hong Kong and Nanjing, an eastern city in Jiangsu province, and Xian in central China.
“Cathay Dragon customers travelling on Shenzhen Airlines code share flights will enjoy the convenience of checked-through baggage service to their final destination,” said Cathay Dragon’s chief executive officer Algernon Yau. “This latest arrangement will provide more choice for our passengers travelling between Hong Kong and mainland China.”
