Dragonair announced that it will launch a new service to Manila. The new service will commence on 15-Dec-08 with a five-times-weekly flight operated by an A320 aircraft.
Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Kenny Tang said, "We are excited to announce our entry into the Philippines market to offer a wider choice of options for travellers. Traffic flow and demand between Manila and Hong Kong continues to grow and the new service will be a significant boon in terms of business and trading activities between Hong Kong and the Philippines."
"The new addition reinforces Dragonair's long-term commitment to build on our network not only in our core Mainland market but also in Asia. Despite the current financial crisis, we are confident in the long-term prospect of the travel industry. We believe that the Manila service will perform well and will play an important role in our business in the years to come."
Manila is the ninth new destination Dragonair has added to its network since becoming part of the Cathay Pacific Group in Sep-06.
Dragonair, an affiliate member of oneworld, is a Hong Kong-based airline operating a fleet of 32 passenger aircraft and four freighters serving 33 regional destinations, including 20 cities in Mainland China.
