Cathay Pacific adds Seychelles flights to network

Tickets will be on sale starting 21 November.

According to a release, Cathay Pacific Airways today announced the launch of a new code-share agreement with Air Seychelles that will add the Seychelles to its network and offer passengers direct services to one of the world’s most alluring destinations. 

Tickets for the new code-share services are open for sale from 21 November 2013 for travel commencing 9 December 2013 (subject to government approval).

This will be second destination in the Indian Ocean to be added to the Cathay Pacific network in the space of just two months. The airline launched a new four-times-weekly service to the Maldives in October.

Under the new code-share agreement, Cathay Pacific’s “CX” code will be placed on Air Seychelles’ three weekly return flights between Hong Kong and the Seychelles, and two flights per week from the Seychelles to Abu Dhabi.

At the same time, Air Seychelles will place its “HM” code on Cathay Pacific’s three weekly return flights apiece between Hong Kong and Seoul, and Hong Kong and Melbourne. In addition, the codeshare will apply to three weekly flights apiece from Hong Kong to Perth and to Johannesburg, as well as two flights per week from Perth to Hong Kong.

The new code-share will offer greater choice and convenience for passengers connecting through the Hong Kong hub.
