Cathay Pacific will be launching direct flights to Munich and Brussels in 2025, with both services using the airline’s Airbus A350-900 aircraft, providing customers with fully flat beds in business cabins.

The airline’s debut passenger service to Munich is set to launch on 16 June 2025 with four return flights per week, marking its second route to Germany alongside its daily service to Frankfurt. Direct flights between Hong Kong and Brussels will start on 3 August 2025.

With the addition of these two new routes, Hong Kong’s national carrier will provide up to 93 return flights per week to 11 cities in Europe next summer, up from 78 flights per week currently. In addition to four weekly return flights to Munich and Brussels, there will also be five daily flights to London, daily flights to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Manchester, Milan, Paris and Zurich, and four weekly flights to both Madrid and Barcelona, the latter being a summer seasonal service.

Cathay chief customer and commercial officer Lavinia Lau said: “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.”
