After the consolidated daily connection from Milan Malpensa, Rome becomes the second Italian city to benefit from a direct flight to the Asian metropolis. A strategic choice that further strengthens the Cathay Group's European network, which also includes the low-cost carrier HK Express, and aims to reach almost 100 destinations by the first half of 2025, including 22 in mainland China.

 

On board the Airbus A350-900, one of the most modern and sustainable in the fleet, you can choose between:

  • Business Class with lie-flat seats and direct aisle access;
  • Premium Economy with extra room for comfort;
  • Economy Class equipped with ergonomic seats;
  • award-winning entertainment system;
  • high-speed Wi-Fi connection .

 

The connection from Rome is part of a global expansion plan that will see the launch of 16 new destinations for the Cathay Group in 2025. Among the innovations already announced are Hyderabad, Dallas Fort Worth and Urumqi, while flights from Munich will also be activated by the end of June, followed by the resumption of connections from Brussels in August. With these additions, the European destinations served will rise to 12.
