Cathay Group is enhancing its cooperation with ASEAN countries to develop Hong Kong’s international hub.
During visits to Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam by Hong Kong’s Chief Executive John Lee, Cathay Group’s CEO Ronald Lam highlighted the importance of these connections.
Hong Kong Express Airways will commence flights to Phu Quoc in the fourth quarter. Cathay Pacific will increase its Phnom Penh service from five round trips a week to daily flights starting October 27. Additionally, earlier this year, more than 170 Vietnamese cabin crew members were recruited, and with the Hong Kong government’s expanded labor scheme, the intake of workers from Vietnam, Laos, and Nepal is being increased.
Cathay Group currently operates over 360 weekly round trips to 17 cities in ASEAN countries. With the completion of Hong Kong International Airport’s third runway, in addition to strengthening existing routes, the group aims to enhance its network and cooperation across ASEAN, further driving growth.
