Cathay Pacific boosts frequency on Gatwick and Manchester routes

Cathay Pacific has gone daily on its Hong Kong-Gatwick route, starting June 2017.

The Hong-Kong based airline is also adding a fifth weekly flight and become an all Airbus A350-900 on its Manchester route.

Cathay Pacific said the “strengthening” of demand on the routes was the reason for the boost in frequency.

“We are delighted to be increasing our schedule from Gatwick and Manchester," said Cathay Pacific general manager Europe, Neil Glenn.

“The additional frequencies coupled with the introduction of the A350 on our Manchester route, underline the deep-rooted commitment we have to providing both business and leisure passengers with increased convenience and superior in-flight products.  

“These enhancements will give travellers even more reasons to choose Cathay Pacific,” Glenn added.

The flight schedule for the services will be as follows (all times local): 

Gatwick (LGW) effective 1 June 2017

Manchester (MAN) effective 2 June 2017
