Cathay Pacific back at Brussels Airport as of August 2025

As of 4 August 2025, Cathay Pacific will again offer direct passenger flights between Brussels Airport and Hong Kong. The airline will operate four flights a week, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The return of the direct route to Hong Kong is an important addition to Brussels Airport's intercontinental network.

Brussels Airport may once again welcome Cathay Pacific with its direct route to Hong Kong. The Asian airline has already operated at Brussels Airport starting March 2018 until the covid pandemic. As of 4 August 2025, Cathay Pacific will again offer four direct passenger flights a week to Hong Kong, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

"We are delighted to welcome Cathay Pacific back to Brussels Airport. This direct route to Hong Kong reinforces our role as a European hub and provides our passengers with even more travel opportunities to Asia. For travellers from Hong Kong, our airport offers direct access to the capital of Europe and also serves as an excellent gateway to destinations across Europe. We look forward to a successful partnership.", says Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport.

“We are very excited to be returning to Brussels next year, a city steeped in history and also an important political centre. These flights will provide our customers with a direct connection between our home city – a world-class international financial, commercial and aviation hub – and the heart of Europe. We look forward to welcoming many customers onboard this flight to experience our signature products and services.”, says Lavinia Lau, Cathay Chief Customer and Commercial Officer.

Hong Kong is a major added value for Brussels Airport's intercontinental network, both for business and tourism travellers. In 2024, the destination attracted some 35,000 travellers from Belgium. This route will be flown with an energy-efficient Airbus A350-900, providing customers with fully flat beds in Business, spacious seats in Premium Economy and comfort in Economy cabins.
