Direct flights between Hong Kong and Brussels were reinstated by Cathay Pacific on August 3, 2025, reestablishing an important route after it had been suspended. This reopening is included in the airline’s comprehensive increase of services throughout Europe for the summer season. Alongside flights to Brussels, Cathay Pacific now operates close to one hundred weekly return flights connecting Hong Kong with key European cities, responding to the increased demand from travelers for more direct routes and flexible scheduling.

The airline maintains a range of flight frequencies within its European network to serve passenger requirements. These include:

  • Daily flights to London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, and Zurich
  • Multiple weekly flights to Madrid, Munich, Rome, and Brussels

Thanks to the expanded schedule, passengers have increased options and flexibility when planning their journeys across Europe.

Travelers flying to Brussels can visit the Atomium, which is a distinctive steel structure offering panoramic views of the city, explore the Grand Place, a historic central square renowned for its ornate guildhalls, or enjoy outdoor activities in Parc de Bruxelles, which is a large urban park. Travelers visiting London can explore Camden Market, known for its colorful stalls and street food, spend time walking or cycling in the spacious areas of Hyde Park, or admire broad views of the city from the Shard’s observation deck.

Those arriving in Frankfurt and Paris may explore well-known attractions like Frankfurt’s Palmengarten botanical gardens. A variety of plants can be found in these gardens. Strolling along the Seine is a common pastime for travelers looking to soak in the charm of central Paris. The uneven ground and waterfalls at Parc des Buttes-Chaumont create a recognizable natural feature within the city limits. These locations combine natural environments with urban settings and provide a range of recreational activities.

Flight operations to Brussels have restarted, with additional frequencies introduced on key European routes. Direct flights shorten overall travel time and reduce the risk of delays linked to connecting flights. Hong Kong International Airport continues to serve as a major transit hub, facilitating smooth transfers to numerous Asian destinations. Overall, these updates make it easier and more convenient for travelers heading between Asia and Europe, offering them more flexibility and choice.
