Starting January 17, 2025, Hong Kong Airlines will resume direct service between Hong Kong and Gold Coast in Australia. The seasonal route will operate four times weekly until February 15, 2024, with an Airbus A330-300.
On Thursday (August 22. 2024), Hong Kong Airlines announced the restart of seasonal service between Hong Kong and Gold Coast in Australia. Starting February 17, 2024, the route will operate four times weekly through February 15, 2024, providing over 6,000 seats during the Chinese New Year period. The Hong Kong-Gold Coast route will operate with a widebody Airbus A330 aircraft.
In Thursday’s announcement, Hong Kong Airlines’ Chairman, Jeff Sun, said,
“We are delighted to be the first Hong Kong carrier to bring back this highly anticipated Australian route for our passengers. The route launch will mark our first step back into the long-haul market as we are gradually introducing more aircraft to support the expansion of our route network. This includes actively exploring a return to the North American market, with routes to Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles and Seattle under consideration, to provide passengers with more international and diverse travel options.
“We expect Gold Coast to become a popular destination for our travellers, not only from Hong Kong but also from our extensive network in Greater China. They will be able to enjoy the beautiful weather, stunning coastline and exciting activities that Queensland has to offer, further strengthening the cultural, tourism and business ties between these regions”
Also commenting on the resumed Gold Coast service, Queensland Airports Limited’s CEO, Amelia Evans, said,
“China has always been a critical visitor market for the Gold Coast and Queensland more broadly, so reconnecting to Hong Kong marks a positive step forward in our international recovery journey.”
