Hong Kong Airlines has announced it will be flying direct to Sydney from Hong Kong this summer.

The new daily service will start on June 20 making Hong Kong Airlines the second Hong Kong-based airline to operate this route.

The news of the new Sydney route follows the resumption of a Queensland Gold Coast service by Hong Kong Airlines that started in January.

A signing ceremony was held at Sydney Airport this week to celebrate the announcement with representatives from Hong Kong Airlines, Sydney Airport and the Chinese Consulate General in Sydney present.

“The three-runway system at Hong Kong International Airport has increased the capacity for additional flights,” said Hong Kong Airlines president Jeff Sun. “With the support of the two governments and related organisations, we are delighted to become the second Hong Kong-based airline to operate in Sydney.”

The service will run once a day, taking off from Hong Kong at 10.25pm and landing at Sydney International Airport at 9.50am. The return flight leaves Sydney at 11.30am, touching down in Hong Kong at 7.15pm.
