Cathay Pacific said that customers travelling before August can choose from available special fares and choose to fly with its interline partners from Johannesburg to Hong Kong and onwards via Dubai to their preferred destinations.

Anand Yedery, regional head of marketing and sales, South Asia, Middle East and Africa, said that they’re eager to not only welcome their customers from South Africa to experience their warm Asian culture, but also the comfort and efficiency when travelling on board the Airbus A350-900.

“With the removal of travel restrictions into Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland, and with our connections to popular Asian destinations, we can aid customers to fulfil all their travels plans – whether it is to reunite with their loved ones or take that much-awaited holiday or for business,” said Yedery.

Customers can book their tickets on the Cathay Pacific website or through the airline’s travel partners.
