Cathay Pacific (CX) will expand its European network with the launch of a four-times weekly service to Madrid starting on June 2, 2016.
The route will represent the only direct link between the two countires, providing greater convenience for business and leisure customers travelling between Hong Kong and Spain.
Likewise, the new route will make it easier for passengers from Southern Europe to access key destinations in mainland China and Asia.
The four-time weekly service will operate every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, with timings slightly different during the summer and winter travel seasons.

“We are committed to expanding our presence in Europe, having recently added Manchester, Zurich and Düsseldorf to our network, and we are now pleased to offer more choice and convenience to passengers travelling between Hong Kong and Madrid.”
