Cathay Pacific to begin Washington Dulles A350 service in 2018
Cathay Pacific will launch 4X-weekly Airbus A350-1000 service to Washington Dulles (IAD) from Sept 15, 2018. The new route expands the carrier’s existing US east coast services to Boston, and New York JFK and Newark Liberty airports. Cathay said it expects to take delivery of the first of 20 A350-1000s in spring 2018. The IAD A350 service will become the longest on the Cathay Pacific network in terms of distance at 7,085 nautical miles. Cathay Pacific CE Rupert Hogg said the new service has been introduced to cater to the growing demand for travel to the US capital region, “while at the same time providing US-based passengers with more access to key destinations in Asia and beyond through the airline’s home in Hong Kong.” <br/>
