Airbus A350-900 Flights to Riyadh Pave the Way for New Investments

Hong Kong flag carrier Cathay Pacific Airways has relaunched its direct passenger flights to the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh using the cutting-edge Airbus A350-900. Despite rising geopolitical tensions, Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po believes this initiative will unlock vast business and travel opportunities. Leading a high-profile delegation of about 200 passengers, Chan is scheduled to attend the Future Investment Initiative (FII) global summit in Riyadh.

Strengthening Economic Ties and Leadership in Innovation

This delegation includes prominent leaders from regulatory bodies and key sectors, including the CEO of the Hong Kong Investment Corporation, Clara Chan Ka-chai. She is expected to facilitate bilateral investments, capitalizing on both sides' resources to enhance liquidity and returns. Chan expressed hope that these flights will attract new investments and advanced technology companies to Hong Kong.

A Vital Connection for Business and Technology

• This service is the only direct connection between Hong Kong and Riyadh.
• Three return flights per week will operate using Airbus A350-900 aircraft across all classes.
• Direct flights aim to enhance collaboration in innovation, technology, and trade.

Paul Chan remarked, “The route will unlock new opportunities for investments, trade, and collaborations particularly in innovations and technology.”
