Dragonair to add another flight on Dhaka-Hong Kong route from July

Regional carrier, and Cathay Pacific subsidiary, Dragonair, has said that it will increase the number of flights to Dhaka, Bangladesh, from four times a week to five from 7 July, to meet increasing market demand.

''Dhaka has always been an important market for both passenger and cargo services, and we are seeing month-by-month growth in the market. By adding one more flight every week, both business and leisure travellers will benefit from the increased frequency,'' said CEO Kenny Tang.

''The demand from business travellers in Dhaka for services to Hong Kong and beyond has always been high. We have also seen an increasing demand from the growing population of expatriates from Asia and the Mainland in Dhaka,'' said Mr Tang. ''The extra frequency will also help meet the huge demand for cargo services in the Dhaka market, which has been increasing, and we anticipate the strong growth to continue.''
