Hong Kong Airlines to resume direct service to Gold Coast, Australia 

Hong Kong Airlines has announced that it will resume non-stop  service between Hong Kong and Gold Coast from 17 January 2025.

Operating seasonally from 17 January to 15 February 2025, the four-times a week service will  run for five weeks over the Chinese Lunar New Year period, offering approximately 6,000 seats on A330 wide-body aircraft.

Hong Kong Airlines Chairman Jeff Sun stated: “We are delighted to be the first Hong Kong carrier  to bring back this highly anticipated Australian route for our passengers. The route launch will mark our first step back into the long-haul market as we are gradually introducing more aircraft  to support the expansion of our route network. This includes actively exploring a return to the  North American market, with routes to Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles and Seattle under  consideration, to provide passengers with more international and diverse travel options.”

“We expect Gold Coast to become a popular destination for our travellers, not only from Hong  Kong but also from our extensive network in Greater China. They will be able to enjoy the  beautiful weather, stunning coastline and exciting activities that Queensland hasto offer, further  strengthening the cultural, tourism and business ties between these regions.”

Queensland Airports Limited Chief Executive Officer Amelia Evans said, “China has always been  a critical visitor market for the Gold Coast and Queensland more broadly, so reconnecting to  Hong Kong marks a positive step forward in our international recovery journey.”

Queensland Minister for Tourism and Sport Michael Healy MP said, “Gold Coast Airport’s first  connection with Hong Kong in six years opens up South-East Queensland to even more Asian  visitors, who we know love Queensland’s great lifestyle and world-class holiday experiences.”

City of Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said, “Tourism is in our city’s DNA so we look forward to  welcoming visitors via Hong Kong Airlines back to the Gold Coast to experience everything we  have to offer.”

Experience Gold Coast CEO John Warn said the new service would help bolster international  visitation as the city continues to rebuild its visitation and spend out of key and emerging  international markets like Greater China.
