Hong Kong Airlines announced that it will launch a new direct service to Melbourne from 12 December 2025. The new route will operate three times a week, offering travellers more flexible and convenient options for travel to Australia. To commemorate this significant milestone, a signing ceremony was held at Melbourne Airport, attended by representatives from Hong Kong Airlines, Melbourne Airport as well as Victorian Government. Speaking at the ceremony, Hong Kong Airlines President Jeff Sun said: "This has been a year of significant progress for our Australian market strategy. Following the resumption of our Gold Coast service in January and the launch of our Sydney route in June, we are delighted to add Melbourne as another key destination within just six months. This establishes Hong Kong Airlines as the second local carrier to offer direct flights to Australia's major cities and marks 2025 as a crucial milestone in our international transformation." “This new service will not only provide passengers a competitive and high-quality travel option but will also cater to the diverse needs of business and leisure travellers, further deepening the trade, cultural, and tourism ties between Hong Kong and Melbourne.

To provide greater convenience for its passengers, Hong Kong Airlines has partnered with Eternal East Bus Ltd (“Eternal East Bus”) and Japan’s Aladdin Group to introduce a range of complimentary airport transfer services, further enhancing the travel experience for its customers. Wilson Yam, Vice President of Hong Kong Airlines, commented: "We are committed to providing high-quality value-added services that meet the needs of our customers. Our partnership with Eternal East Bus strengthens our strategic position within the Greater Bay Area's '1-hour living circle', while the INNN shared-ride service addresses the common travel challenges in Japan, such as expensive transport and complicated transfer arrangement. This enhances the overall competitiveness of our Osaka route and reinforces our competitive advantage." He continued, "The launch of these complimentary airport transfer services not only provides our passengers with more travel options but also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to enhancing the customer experience. Looking ahead, Hong Kong Airlines will continue to optimise its services and pioneer more innovative 'ticket-to-door' models." Enjoy a Complimentary Cross-Border Land Transfer Service with Eternal East Bus From today until 31 December 2025, Hong Kong Airlines passengers presenting a valid boarding pass (either printed or electronic version) along with their travel documents at a designated Eternal East Bus counter can redeem a complimentary one-way cross-border coach ticket between Hong Kong International Airport and Shenzhen. The ticket can be redeemed within a window of 15 hours before the scheduled flight departure or 15 hours after departure.

Hong Kong Airlines to switch up its frequent flyer programme

Hong Kong Airlines announced today, 27th June, that it will revamp its Fortune Wings Club (FWC) frequent flyer programme from Tuesday, 1st July. The programme makes the switch to a spending-based model for points earned from 1st July onwards. The change is designed to offer members greater flexibility and value; plus, when combined with the launch of new long-haul routes and various service upgrades, frequent flyers may enjoy an elevated travel experience. Built on innovation According to airline vice-president Wilson Yam: "Hong Kong Airlines is the first local carrier to adopt this innovative method for points accrual based on member’s spending. We believe this will offer our existing members a refreshingly straightforward experience, while also attracting new members to the programme." Yam added that the airline is committed to enhancing the passenger journey from providing seamless baggage services and a wide selection of in-flight meals, to optimising its online check-in system and upgrading airport lounge services. These changes are all aimed at delivering a more convenient and comfortable travel experience. Yam said: “Simultaneously, we are continuously expanding our long haul network, having successively resumed and launched services to Vancouver and Sydney. This further strengthens our role as an aviation bridge connecting China with the world, reinforcing Hong Kong's status as an international aviation hub and serving a greater number of travellers." How does it work? Under the new system, members will earn points based on their ticket fare, rather than the distance flown. This means that, regardless of the journey's length, a member's eligible spending will directly translate into points; and elite members can even get additional bonus points. Hong Kong Airlines also optimised the redemption standards for FWC award tickets, providing more attractive options across different routes and cabin classes. For example, a one-way Economy Class ticket to Osaka, which previously required 25,000 FWC points, will now only require 18,000 points. The optimised redemption chart is clearer and more intuitive, allowing members to plan their journeys with greater flexibility.

The Minns Labor Government has made it very clear; we want to grow our visitor economy and the best way to do this is by increasing airline capacity and unlocking new international markets for NSW. We’ve set our sights on increasing the state’s aviation capacity by 8.5 million seats, and this new Hong Kong route will complement other new routes we’re securing as we work towards landing this goal.” Wang Yu, Consul General of People's Republic of China (Sydney), said: "As the second Hong Kong-based airline to operate the Hong Kong–Sydney route, Hong Kong Airlines not only provides a convenient new option for traveling between China and Australia, but also contributes to enhanced exchanges among students, tourists, business professionals and friends from all walks of life. This new service will strengthen Hong Kong and Sydney’s role as vital gateways for the flow of people and goods, injecting fresh momentum into the economic and cultural ties between China and Australia.
