Qantas to Deploy Boeing 787-9 on Its Routes to Hong Kong

Qantas has today announced Hong Kong as the next destination for its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.

From December 2018, customers travelling on selected Qantas flights from Hong Kong will experience the Dreamliner’s next generation service:

• Hong Kong to Brisbane from 18 December 2018
• Hong Kong to Melbourne between 13 December 2018 until 28 March 2019
• Hong Kong to Sydney from 29 March 2019.

The changes are timed with the arrival of Qantas’ eighth Dreamliner and will join the national carrier’s A330 and A380 aircraft that also fly from Hong Kong.

Hong Kong joins Los Angeles, New York, London and San Francisco as international destinations served by the Qantas Dreamliner, as the more efficient aircraft gradually replaces the 747 on key routes.

Qantas International CEO Alison Webster said the airline was pleased to share the Dreamliner experience with more customers across the airline’s network.

“Introducing the Dreamliner to Hong Kong reinforces our commitment to Asia, where we are seeing strong demand from premium travellers,” said Ms Webster.

“The customer response to the Dreamliner has been overwhelmingly positive. Feedback on the cabin environment, from the seats to the anti-jetlag measures, is fantastic. It’s an aircraft people really enjoy flying on.

“The combination of our 787, A330 and A380 aircraft operating between Hong Kong and Australia over the peak season will see customers enjoy a premium inflight experience on every flight.”

Qantas’ Dreamliner carries 236 passengers across three cabins.

Qantas will also bring forward the peak season upgrade of one of its two daily Hong Kong- Sydney flights from a 747 to the A380 aircraft to early December, offering four cabins on the route including First Class through to the end of March 2019.
