For customers heading to the Southwest Pacific region, the airline offers convenient routes to cities like Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.

Moreover, to meet the travel needs of customers, the airline extends its reach to important Northeast Asian hubs such as Seoul and Tokyo (Narita and Haneda), providing easy access to key international destinations.

Anand Yedery, Regional Head of Customer Travel and Lifestyle, South Asia, Middle East and Africa said: “We are delighted to once again serve the residents of Chennai. As a Group, we have had a long-standing history with the city and now we will be taking to the skies thrice a week to and from Chennai International Airport on 2 February 2024.”

“A Boeing 777 aircraft on this route will not only cater to the travel needs of corporate and leisure travellers, but will also provide each segment with a cabin of choice and allow them to travel with enhanced comfort to Hong Kong and beyond. Moreover, relaunching Cathay Pacific in the city also gives us an opportunity to service our customers and partners, whilst providing them with a comfortable and a premium experience with our world-class products.”
