Hong Kong Airlines set to fly further

The aircraft will be operated across a network that links Hong Kong with a wide range of destinations in Asia, and beyond.

Hong Kong Airlines has signaled significant expansion with a firm order of nine additional Airbus A330-300 aircraft.

The aircraft will be operated across a network that links Hong Kong with a wide range of destinations in Asia, and beyond.

Zhang Kui, president, Hong Kong Airlines, said the announcement of the new aircraft  “underscores our plan to operate an extensive regional network in Asia”.

"The A330’s flexibility also allows us to further deploy these aircraft to some long-haul routes in the future, and we are going to operate the all-new A350 XWB in 2017 which will open a new chapter of our international operations," he added.

Hong Kong Airlines currently operates an all-Airbus fleet. By the end of 2018, its fleet size will reach more than 50 with the delivery of its first A350-900 aircraft.
