Hong Kong: Cathay Pacific has announced the launch of nonstop flights between Hong Kong and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) for the very first time.

The new service, scheduled to commence on 24 April 2025, marks Cathay Pacific’s sixth passenger destination in the United States and eighth in North America.

The new service will operate four times a week with Cathay’s A350-1000 aircraft.

“Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is one of the world’s busiest airports. With our Cathay Pacific codeshares as well as other flight options, customers can connect to over 190 domestic destinations in the United States, as well as 11 destinations in Central and South America via DFW, further enhancing Hong Kong’s connectivity with North America,” said Cathay Group chief customer and commercial officer, Lavinia Lau.

Currently, Cathay Pacific operates 88 return passenger flights a week to destinations in North America, including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver.

Cathay Pacific is also increasing frequencies on its North America passenger services in 2025, providing more choices for customers.

By May, the airline will be operating 108 return flights per week.

Aside from the new Dallas service, this will include three return flights a day to New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles respectively, and a daily return flight to both Boston and Chicago.

Cathay Pacific also continues to increase flights on its services to Canada, with two daily return flights to Vancouver and 13 return flights a week to Toronto.

Cathay Pacific began serving the North America market with its first nonstop service to Vancouver in 1983.
