On Wednesday (November 12, 2025), Cathay Pacific announced the restart of non-stop seasonal service between Hong Kong and Adelaide, Australia. The first flight took off from Hong Kong International Airport just before midnight on Tuesday, November 11th and arrived in Adelaide this morning. The route will be operated three times weekly with a state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900, featuring fully lie-flat beds in Business, spacious seats in Premium Economy, and comfortable Economy seats.
In Wednesday’s announcement, Cathay’s Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, Lavinia Lau, said,
“We are delighted to return to Adelaide, a city we have a long history with having first launched flights in 1992. Adelaide is a dynamic city on the South Australia coast that offers visitors incredible culinary delights, world-renowned wines, stunning natural attractions, and much more. We look forward to welcoming customers onboard to experience our signature Cathay Pacific service, whether they are flying to this dynamic city, our home hub, or beyond.”

Guests traveling to Adelaide can also enjoy the airline’s award-winning inflight entertainment (IFE) experience, as well as inflight menus developed in collaboration with Michelin-starred Hong Kong restaurants on flights departing Hong Kong. Additionally, Wi-Fi connectivity is available across Cathay Pacific’s entire fleet, with the service currently complimentary for Business Class customers and Cathay Diamond members, as well as Cathay Gold members from November 15th, and Cathay members traveling in Premium Economy by year-end.
Cathay Pacific now serves six destinations in Australia, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Together with their flights to Auckland and Christchurch in New Zealand, the airline is operating nearly 100 weekly returns to Oceania during the winter season. Additionally, Cathay Pacific’s flights also provide belly-hold space for cargo, offering greater choice for cargo customers sending freight between Australia, Hong Kong and beyond.
