Cathay Pacific to resume Colombo flights

2/12/2008 10:42:44 AM

Cathay Pacific Airways said it would resume flights to and from Colombo from March 30, operating daily services using Boeing 777-300 aircraft routed through either Bangkok or Singapore. The Hong Kong-based airline suspended its operations to the Sri Lankan capital in April last year due to security concerns. “Sri Lanka is an important market for both passengers and cargo and getting the destination back into our network will certainly be beneficial for the Hong Kong hub,” said Augustus Tang, Cathay Pacific director of corporate development. Cathay also plans to increase its number of services to nearby India with 10 flights a week to Delhi and six flights a week to Mumbai by March 30. In addition, it will add Chennai as a destination on June 1, with four flights a week, while sister airline Dragonair will begin a daily flight to Bangalore on May 1.   American Shipper
