Hong Kong Airlines has announced the resumption of direct flights to Vancouver, Canada commencing January 18.
Vancouver was Hong Kong Airlines' first North American destination, launched in June 2017, and the airline says it has consistently proven a popular route.
"We are thrilled to welcome Vancouver back as Hong Kong Airlines' first North American destination,” says Hong Kong Airlines Chairman Yan Bo.
“We aim to attract more travellers to experience Vancouver's beauty, facilitating family reunions and business collaborations. The route will further strengthen our Asian network and offer global passengers more diverse and convenient travel options, connecting Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area, Oceania, and North America."

The airline says the Vancouver route demonstrates its commitment to returning to the international market and its strategic transformation from a regional to a global carrier, with a focus on expanding its global route network.
Following a successful restructuring last year, Hong Kong Airlines has been actively enhancing services and expanding operations. Through optimizing its route network and adjusting its fleet structure, the carrier now flies to more than 30 destinations.
This year, the number of flights has fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels, with an average passenger load factor of approximately 85%.
