IN its continuing effort to expand across China, the Cathay Pacific Group has added the Shandong capital, Jinan, known as the "City of Springs", to become its 28th destination on the mainland.
Cathay Dragon will commence a new four-times-weekly service between Hong Kong and Jinan from March 26 2018, the airline said.
A historic and picturesque home to over seven million residents, Jinan is one of eastern China's major administrative, economic and transportation centres. It has also become a popular tourism destination and is revered for the 72 natural artesian springs in the area.
The new service, which will complement the airline's existing flights to Qingdao, will be operated by the airline's fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft.
Cathay Pacific chief customer and commercial officer Paul Loo said: "Our priority is to grow our reach to new destinations, which is why we are delighted to soon be adding Jinan to our network. Shandong province is a flourishing region, one that is becoming ever more popular with travellers from around Asia and beyond.
"Furthermore, by establishing new routes, we help strengthen Hong Kong's status as Asia's largest international aviation hub."
The announcement follows the early January launch of Cathay Dragon's services to Nanning in Guangxi and Cathay Pacific's upcoming services to Brussels, Copenhagen, Dublin and Washington DC.
