Timings for both flights should allow connections at Hong Kong for other Cathay Pacific/HK Express connections, whilst the early arrivals should allow for oneworld connections if needed.
Both the Munich and Brussels services will be operated using Cathay Pacific’s Airbus A350-900 aircraft, providing customers with fully flat beds in Business, Premium Economy recliners and Economy cabin seats.

In Quotes
“We are very excited to be adding Munich to our network for the very first time as well as returning to Brussels next year, making these our 10th and 11th destinations in Europe, respectively. Hong Kong is a world-class international financial, commercial and aviation hub, and these flights will provide our customers with a direct connection between our home city and two of Europe’s important centres.
“Cathay Pacific has been flying non-stop to Europe for over four decades and we remain very committed to this important market. In addition to launching these two routes, we are delighted to be adding more flights on our other European routes next summer, providing even greater choice and convenience for our customers travelling between Hong Kong and the continent.”
A focus on Europe
In the summer of 2025, Cathay Pacific will be operating up to 93 return passenger flights per week to Europe, up from 78 flights per week currently.
In addition to four weekly return flights to Munich and Brussels, this also includes five daily flights to London, daily flights to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Manchester, Milan, Paris and Zurich, and four weekly flights to each of Madrid and Barcelona, the latter being a summer seasonal service.
As for its network, after a period of stagnation, the Cathay Group is growing at last, with the airline aiming to serve 100 destinations worldwide.
For now, Europe is benefiting from Cathay Pacific’s network growth.
