New Delhi: Cathay-Pacific, Hong Kong’s flag carrier, will be the second after Dubai-based Emirates to utilise all its bilateral air traffic rights with India, as it increases its weekly flights from 35 at present to 46 by the year end.
It will start four flights a week to Hyderabad from Hong Kong in December, while its wholly-owned subsidiary Dragonair will commence a similar service to Kolkata from November.
Tom Wright, general manager, South Asia, West Asia and Africa, said, “Once we have launched all our flights to these destination, we would have utilised all our traffic rights.” Traffic rights negotiated between India and Hong Kong are primarily based on number of flights. But in case of Delhi, it includes seats.
