Cathay Pacific to Resume Service Between Hong Kong and Adelaide From November 11, 2025

On Thursday (May 22, 2025), Cathay Pacific announced that they will resume service between Hong Kong and Adelaide starting November 11, 2025.  The route will operate three times weekly with an Airbus A350-900 featuring fully flat beds in Business Class, spacious seats in Premium Economy, and comfortable Economy cabins.  With the resumed route, Adelaide will become Cathay Pacific’s eighth passenger destination  in the Southwest Pacific region.  The carrier also operates year-round services between Hong Kong and Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, and winter seasonal services to Cairns and Christchurch.

In Thursday’s announcement, Cathay’s Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, Lavinia Lau, said,

“We are thrilled to be reconnecting our home hub with Adelaide, a bustling city that holds particular significance for Cathay Pacific.  We first launched passenger flights to the South Australian capital in 1992, and then two years later our first batch of cadet pilots arrived in the city to complete their flight training, marking the start of our more than three-decade collaboration with Flight Training Adelaide.

“With our return to Adelaide, we will be operating close to 90 return flights per week to eight destinations in the Southwest Pacific at the peak of this winter season, providing a great many choices for our customers travelling between the region and our home hub.  Whether they are travelling for business, leisure or to visit friends and relatives, we look forward to welcoming customers onboard and experiencing our signature Cathay Pacific service.”
