Demand for long-haul travel was driven by the peak season for returning student traffic, and load factors for the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe were each close to 90%. The resumption of our summer seasonal Barcelona service was also popular with customers, particularly those originating from Hong Kong, Spain and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn terms of short-haul leisure travel, the Dragon Boat Festival and Hong Kong SAR Establishment Day long-holiday weekends drove strong demand from our home market, with Japan remaining a popular destination for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summer outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The outlook for the summer travel peak remains robust across our network. Looking ahead, we will continue to introduce new destinations for our customers to explore,&#8221; said Lau. We were delighted to announce earlier this month that we will be launching a four-times-weekly service to Ningbo in August and a three-times-weekly seasonal service to Cairns between December and March next year, both of which we expect to be popular with customers. As a group, we have already announced 10 new destinations so far this year, seven of which have commenced services.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HONG KONG, 23 July 2024: Cathay Pacific and HK Express carried about 92,000 passengers combined on 30 June, the highest daily number since the pandemic.&nbsp;
