Cathay Pacific further expands its European network with the addition of Zurich, Switzerland. This will be the second new European station after Manchester which was announced earlier on.

The carrier will operate non-stop daily four class Boeing 777-300ER from Hong Kong to Zurich effective 29 March 2015.

Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Ivan Chu said: “We are very pleased to be able to add Zurich to our growing international network. Zurich and Hong Kong are two of the world’s leading financial centres, where people appreciate high standards of service, and we are seeing considerable demand for a quality travel experience, especially on long-haul routes.

“Cathay Pacific already has a significant presence in Europe and this new destination will help meet demand for both business and leisure travel between Switzerland and Hong Kong. The launch of Zurich, together with the recently announced introduction of flights to Manchester, highlights our ongoing commitment to helping strengthen Hong Kong’s position as one of the world’s great international aviation hubs.”

The flight schedule for Cathay Pacific’s Zurich (ZRH) service from 29 March 2015 is as follows (all times local):
