Cathay Pacific will launch a four-times-weekly service to the Maldives, starting on October 27, subject to government approval.

Cathay Pacific will use an Airbus A330-300 aircraft equipped with its Business Class, new Premium Economy Class and long-haul Economy Class cabins.

Flights will depart from Hong Kong to Male International Airport every Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

Cathay Pacific CEO John Slosar said: “The continued expansion of our network highlights our commitment to boosting Hong Kong’s place as one of the world’s great international aviation hubs.”

Visitors to the Maldives currently enjoy a free 30-day visa on arrival in the capital city, Male.
