Seamless Connections and Enhanced Travel Experience

Initially operating three times a week, the service will increase to five times a week starting September 1, 2025. With this addition, Cathay Pacific’s network in India expands to a total of 43 return flights per week by the end of 2025, covering destinations like Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, and Mumbai. This robust network caters to the growing demand for travel between Hong Kong and India, offering travellers more options and flexibility.
Exploring the Greater Bay Area with Ease
Cathay Pacific’s Hyderabad service doesn’t just connect travellers to India. It also provides seamless access to other exciting destinations within the Greater Bay Area, a region encompassing major cities in southern China. Through its SkyPier Terminal at Hong Kong International Airport, passengers can utilize convenient ferry and coach transfer services to reach seven destinations in the Greater Bay Area. This intermodal connectivity offers a hassle-free travel experience, allowing travellers to check their luggage through to their final destination without the need to clear immigration in Hong Kong.
The SkyPier ferry services connect to Dongguan Humen Ferry Terminal, Guangzhou Pazhou Ferry Terminal, Guangzhou Nansha Passenger Port, Macao Maritime Ferry Terminal, Shenzhen Shekou Cruise Home Port, Shenzhen Airport Ferry Terminal, and Zhongshan Port. Coach transfer services via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) provide access to HZMB Macao Port and HZMB Zhuhai Port. This seamless integration of flight and ferry or coach transfers is particularly beneficial for travellers attending the Canton Fair, thanks to the Guangzhou Pazhou Ferry Terminal’s proximity to the fair complex.
Strengthening Connections and Fostering Growth

The resumption of direct flights to Hyderabad is expected to be a popular choice for travellers seeking both business and leisure opportunities in India and beyond.
