    Virgin Australia to launch Sydney – Hong Kong flights in mid 2018

    MarkBy MarkFebruary 28, 2018No Comments2 Mins Read

    Virgin Australia has announced plans to fly between Sydney and Hong Kong from the middle of 2018. At the same time, it will reduce Melbourne to Hong Kong to five return flights per week,

    Sydney – Hong Kong

    Under the announced plans, Virgin Australia will operate daily return services between the two cities with its Airbus A330-200 aircraft. This aircraft features the well regarded business class cabin, Virgin dubbed ‘The Business’.

    The expansion of flights to Hong Kong reflects a growing focus on the Greater China by Virgin Australia.

    Virgin Australia Group CEO, John Borghetti, said: “Expanding our presence into Greater China is a key pillar of our international strategy, and today we are building on the positive momentum created since the launch of our Melbourne-Hong Kong flights.

    “The new Sydney-Hong Kong service will link two global destinations and will allow Virgin Australia to further access the fastest growing and most valuable Australian inbound market, China, with our alliance partner Hong Kong Airlines. The service will also connect with Virgin Atlantic Airway’s flights to London.”

    Melbourne – Hong Kong

    On the Melbourne-Hong Kong route, Virgin has announced that it will be dropping back to a five day a week service.  As a result, they will no longer operate between Melbourne and Hong Kong on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

    The following tables show the expected flight schedules between Australia and Hong Kong.
