Cathay PacificCathay Pacific made its eagerly anticipated return to Italy’s capital today with the launch of its non-stop flight between Hong Kong and Rome. The new summer seasonal service is the fourth new destination to join Cathay Pacific’s global network so far in 2025, as the Cathay Group nears 100 passenger destinations around the world.
So far this year, Cathay Pacific has launched new passenger services to four destinations, including Hyderabad, Dallas-Fort Worth, Urumqi and now Rome. Meanwhile, low-cost carrier HK Express has launched services to Sendai, Nha Trang, Ishigaki, Komatsu, Changzhou and Yiwu already in 2025.
Cathay Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau said: “Rome has long been an important destination for Cathay Pacific and a popular one among our customers. We first launched flights to the city in 1986 and we are thrilled to be back once again connecting our home, Hong Kong, with the Eternal City. We look forward to welcoming customers onboard with our signature Cathay Pacific service.

“In addition to Rome, we will also be launching flights to Munich and Brussels this summer. In total, we will be operating close to 100 return flights per week to 12 European destinations, providing our customers with even greater connectivity between Hong Kong and this important region.”
Operating three times per week on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, Cathay Pacific’s new Hong Kong-Rome service will be operated by one of the most modern and fuel-efficient aircraft in the airline’s fleet, the Airbus A350-900 aircraft, offering 38 flat-bed seats in Business, 28 seats in Premium Economy and 214 in Economy.
