Cathay Pacific currently serves six destinations across four countries in Latin America — Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil, Mexico City and Guadalajara in Mexico, Lima in Peru and Santiago in Chile — through codeshare partnerships via gateways in Europe, North America and Oceania. The Cathay Group currently flies to 33 destinations in Belt and Road participating countries with close to 600 flights per week, with additional destinations served through codeshare agreements.
The Hong Kong carrier said that to support new codeshare services, starting October 25, 2026, it will add three more flights per week on its non-stop Hong Kong-Madrid route, bringing the service to a daily frequency. Cathay Pacific’s Hong Kong-Madrid flights will operate on a staggered schedule, providing passengers with the option of a late-night departure out of Europe.
“These enhancements underscore our commitment to strengthening connectivity between Asia and markets around the world, offering passengers greater choice and convenience, and enhancing Hong Kong’s status as one of the world’s leading international aviation hubs,” Cathay Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau commented.
