Cathay Pacific Airways will launch a new four-times-weekly service to London’s Gatwick Airport on September 2, 2016. 

Combined with the airline’s current five-times daily service to Heathrow, Cathay Pacific will offer more flights between Hong Kong and London than any other airline - 39 per week. -The new service will provide passengers living in Greater London and the counties of Kent, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex and Hampshire a more convenient way to travel to Hong Kong and via the extensive hub to Asia and beyond, Cathay said in a statement. Cathay will deploy its brand new three-class Airbus A350-900 aircraft on the route, featuring a refreshed Business Class cabin as well as new Premium Economy Class and Economy Class seats. Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Ivan Chu said: “Cathay Pacific has been serving London for 35 years and our commitment to the UK market is very strong. We are delighted to launch a non-stop service to Gatwick, using our new state-of-the-art A350 aircraft, which will help meet increasing demand for both business and leisure travel between the Asia Pacific region and the UK. These additional flights to London will provide our passengers with greater choice and flexibility and, at the same time, continue to boost Hong Kong’s standing as an international aviation hub.” Summer schedule in 2016
