VANCOUVER — Hong Kong Airlines celebrated the resumption of direct flights to Vancouver with a gate party held earlier this week at YVR. Taking place Jan. 18 at Vancouver International Airport, the official ceremony was attended by the airline’s senior management as well as senior representatives from the Airport Authority Hong Kong who interacted with and distributed bespoke souvenirs to the first flight’s passengers.
Said Hong Kong Airlines’ Chairman, Yan Bo: “We are delighted to reinstate the Vancouver service, offering passengers more flight choices. Vancouver was Hong Kong Airlines’ first North American destination, which was first launched in June 2017, and has always been popular. Resuming this route not only marks our official return to the North American market but also demonstrates the progress of our strategic transformation from a regional to an international airline earlier this year and boosting our confidence in expanding our global route network coverage.
” Hong Kong Airlines now operates direct flights from Hong Kong to Vancouver on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and from Vancouver to Hong Kong on Wednesdays and Sundays. Flights are operated by Airbus A330-300 aircraft and include a curated selection of Hong Kong-style in-flight meals complete with a variety of Chinese, Western and vegetarian options for both business and economy class passengers. Hong Kong Airlines now serves over 30 destinations, demonstrating a strong post-pandemic recovery.
Last yea.
