“Cathay Pacific has been flying to Adelaide since 1992 and in this time we have grown to seven flights a week and seen growth in demand from travellers across the business, leisure and student markets particularly to and from China,” Cathay Pacific South-west Pacific, general manager, Dane Cheng, said.
“We believe the non-stop and same-day connections will also prove popular in bringing tourists into South Australia over our summer,” he added.
Cathay operates two class Airbus A330s on the route.
