The airline is set to expand its North American passenger services in 2025, offering customers more travel options. By May, it will operate 108 round-trip flights weekly. In addition to the new Dallas route, there will be three daily round-trip flights each to New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, along with daily flights to both Boston and Chicago. Cathay Pacific is also ramping up its Canadian routes, with two daily flights to Vancouver and 13 weekly round-trip flights to Toronto.
Cathay Pacific’s new passenger service to DFW will enhance its existing freighter operations to the city via Anchorage. To meet the increasing demand during the air cargo peak season, Cathay Cargo is adding five more return freighter flights per week to North America, bringing the total to up to 37 return flights weekly.
