Hong Kong Airlines is set to resume its direct service between Hong Kong and Vancouver, with a twice-weekly service.
Vancouver was Hong Kong Airlines' first North American destination, launched in June 2017. Following a successful restructuring last year, Hong Kong Airlines has been actively aiming to enhance its services and expanding its operations. The airline has demonstrated a strong recovery capability by optimising its route network and adjusting its fleet structure.
Hong Kong Airlines chairman Yan Bo commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Vancouver back as Hong Kong Airlines' first North American destination. We aim to attract more travellers to experience Vancouver's beauty, facilitating family reunions and business collaborations.”
He added: “The route will further strengthen our Asian network and offer global passengers more diverse and convenient travel options, connecting Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, Oceania, and North America."
This year, the number of flights conducted by the airline has fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels, with an average passenger load factor of approximately 85%. The airline expects to reach its annual traffic target of carrying more than five million passengers by the end of 2024.
