Cathay Pacific has welcomed a new addition to its network with the launch of non-stop flights between Hong Kong and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on April 24, 2025.
The latest addition marks the sixth new passenger destination introduced by the Cathay Group, which includes Cathay Pacific and its low-cost carrier HK Express, in 2025.
With 15 new destinations already announced for the year and more on the horizon, the airline is rapidly expanding its global reach.
Strengthening North American Network
The new Hong Kong-Dallas route strengthens Cathay Pacific’s North American network, boosting connectivity through its Hong Kong hub. It offers travelers more choices and seamless travel options.
To celebrate this milestone, Cathay Director Customer Travel Erica Peng and Airport Authority Hong Kong Executive Director of Airport Operations Steven Yiu Siu-chung joined a special launch event at Hong Kong International Airport.
Lavinia Lau, Cathay Pacific’s Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, gave comment on the occasion. “Launching direct flights to Dallas for the first time shows our dedication to connecting customers to vibrant global destinations from Hong Kong. Our passenger network will soon surpass 100 destinations in the first half of 2025.”
“Through codeshares and flight options, travelers can easily reach U.S. domestic cities or explore Central and South America via Dallas Fort Worth. We warmly invite passengers from Dallas and the Americas to experience Hong Kong or connect to our extensive global network.”

Cathay Pacific operates four weekly return flights on this route, using its state-of-the-art Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. These planes feature comfortable Business, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins, ensuring a pleasant journey.
