Flights between Hong Kong and Rome Fiumicino with Cathay Pacific

Cathay Pacific has announced a new expansion of its global network: from 5 June 2025, direct flights between Hong Kong and Rome Fiumicino Airport will resume. This seasonal summer service, operated three times a week, represents the company's second direct connection with Italy, alongside the five weekly flights already active between Milan Malpensa and Hong Kong, which will become daily starting from 30 March 2025.

 

Cathay Pacific's return to the Italian capital comes at a particularly significant time, as Rome prepares to celebrate the Jubilee Year 2025. This unique event, held every 25 years, will attract millions of pilgrims and tourists to participate in celebrations and events of great appeal in Vatican City and throughout Rome. Cathay Pacific has a long history of connections with Italy, which began almost 40 years ago with the launch of the Hong Kong-Rome route in 1986. 

 

Flights between Hong Kong and Rome will be operated with the modern Airbus A350-900, equipped with cabins designed to offer maximum comfort. Passengers will be able to choose from lie-flat beds in Business Class, spacious seats in Premium Economy and a comfortable experience in Economy Class.

 

Rome's return is part of an ambitious growth plan for 2025. Cathay Pacific has already announced the introduction of direct flights to Hyderabad (March), Dallas (April), Munich (June) and Brussels (August), as well as low-cost airline HK Express to Sendai (January). By the end of 2025, the Group plans to serve 100 destinations worldwide. European customers will also be able to take advantage of the airline's extensive Asia-Pacific network via its Hong Kong hub, which includes 19 destinations in mainland China served by Cathay Pacific and HK Express.
