CATHAY PACIFIC is a launching four-times-weekly, non-stop B777-300ER scheduled passenger services from Hong Kong to Boston, USA, next year, writes Thelma Etim, deputy editor.

Subject to government approval, the new route will get under way in May, says a company statement.

The capital city of Massachusetts will become Cathay’s sixth gateway in the United States – and its eighth in North America.

The airline currently serves Chicago, Los Angeles, New York (JFK), Newark, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver.

This year saw Cathay increase its capacity significantly to the USA with the launch of a daily Newark service, the addition of a fourth daily flight to Los Angeles and three additional flights per week to Chicago, it adds.
