OCT 212 ,2003 (newstodate): From December 2, Cathay Pacific will start flights on a new route between Hong Kong and Beijing.
Initially, three weekly services will be operated, but the airline expects this to expand significantly, bolstering Hong Kong's ambitions of serving as a main gateway to China.
Hong Kongs Air Transport Licensing Authority licensed Cathay Pacific to operate 21 services each week to both Beijing and Shanghai and three weekly services to Xiamen. The airline is keen to operate more flights to the three cities once the necessary additional regulatory approvals have been secured
