Cathay Dragon to Launch New Service to Jinan in March

The Shandong capital, known as the “City of Springs”, becomes the Cathay Pacific Group’s 28th destination in mainland China

The Cathay Pacific Group’s expansion across mainland China continues apace, with the announcement that Cathay Dragon will commence a new four-times-weekly service between Hong Kong and Jinan, the capital of Shandong province, from 26 March 2018.

A historic and picturesque home to over seven million residents, Jinan is one of eastern China’s major administrative, economic and transportation centres. It has also become a popular tourism destination and is revered for the 72 natural artesian springs in the area.

The new service, which will complement the airline’s existing flights to Qingdao, will be operated by the airline’s fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft in a two-class configuration.

In addition to connecting passengers from the UK and Ireland into Jinan, the new flight will offer passengers from Shandong more options when transferring to Cathay Pacific’s international network of over 200 destinations which are served from Hong Kong.

Cathay Pacific Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Paul Loo said: “Our priority is to grow our reach to new destinations, which is why we are delighted to soon be adding Jinan to our network. Shandong province is a flourishing region, one that is becoming ever more popular with travellers from around Asia and beyond. By flying to the province’s eastern and western gateways, we are providing our customers with greater convenience and better choice.

The announcement follows the early January launch of Cathay Dragon’s services to Nanning in Guangxi and Cathay Pacific’s upcoming services to Brussels, Copenhagen, Dublin and Washington DC.

Ireland’s first non-stop flight into Asia will launch on 2 June 2018, linking Dublin and Hong Kong directly on a four-times-weekly basis.

The flight schedule for the Hong Kong – Jinan (TNA) service from 26 March 2018 is as follows:

Flight no From To Departure/Arrival Days of operation
KA960 HKG TNA 1955/2315 Mon, Tue, Thurs, Sat
