Operated as a three-times-weekly summer seasonal service, the Hong Kong-Rome route will be Cathay Pacific’s 2nd direct connection between its home hub and Italy. The airline currently operates 5 return flights per week to Milan, increasing to daily this summer.
Cathay Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau said: “Cathay Pacific’s history in Italy stretches back close to 40 years when we first launched direct flights between Hong Kong and Rome in 1986. We know our customers have been eagerly anticipating the return of this route, and we are delighted to be returning to Italy’s marvellous capital this summer. Whether they are travelling for business, leisure or the 2025 Jubilee celebrations, we look forward to welcoming customers onboard our flights to experience our world-class service.”
