Cathay Dragon to start a new four-times-weekly service between Hong Kong and Jinan this March
The Shandong capital, known as the “City of Springs”, becomes the Cathay Pacific Group’s 28th destination in mainland China
The new service, which will complement the airline’s existing flights to Qingdao, will be operated by the airline’s fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft in a two-class configuration.
In addition to connecting passengers from around the world into Jinan, the new flight will offer passengers from Shandong more options when transferring to Cathay Pacific’s international network of over 200 destinations which are served from Hong Kong.
Cathay Pacific Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Paul Loo said: “Our priority is to grow our reach to new destinations, which is why we are delighted to soon be adding Jinan to our network. Shandong province is a flourishing region, one that is becoming ever more popular with travellers from around Asia and beyond. By flying to the province’s eastern and western gateways, we are providing our customers with greater convenience and better choice.
“Furthermore, by establishing new routes, we help strengthen Hong Kong’s status as Asia’s largest international aviation hub.”
The announcement follows the early January launch of Cathay Dragon’s services to Nanning in Guangxi and Cathay Pacific’s upcoming services to Brussels, Copenhagen, Dublin and Washington DC.
The flight schedule for the Hong Kong – Jinan (TNA) service from 26 March 2018 is as follows:

| KA960 | HKG | TNA | 1955/2315 | Mon, Tue, Thurs, Sat |
