Celebrations were held in Vancouver (YVR) and Hong Kong (HKG) on Jan. 18, 2025 to mark the return of Hong Kong Airlines to North America. 

"We are delighted to reinstate the Vancouver service,” says Hong Kong Airlines Chairman Yan Bo. “Resuming this route not only marks our official return to the North American market but also demonstrates the progress of our strategic transformation from a regional to an international airline earlier this year and boosting our confidence in expanding our global route network coverage."

The Hong Kong-Vancouver route is operated by Airbus A330-300 aircraft and features a curated Hong Kong-style menu with Western and Chinese dishes. It will fly twice-weekly from Vancouver on Wednesdays and Sundays.

“Passengers from both Hong Kong and Canada can experience our attentive service and delicious meals, reflecting Hong Kong Airlines' customer-centric service approach and commitment to serving passengers in North America and around the world,” says Hong Kong Airlines President Jeff Sun. “This also underscores our vision of becoming a leading full-service airline in the region and internationally."

The airline currently flies to 30 destinations across the Asia Pacific. More details are available at hongkongairlines.com. You can read up on what Hong Kong has in store for visitors with TravelPulse Canada's Hong Kong Travel Guide.
