After Trans-Tasman Bubble , Hong Kong and Singapore are repeating One on 26th may and Cathay Pacific is more than Excited !

Hong Kong and Singapore Travel Bubble !

Both the Cities lack a domestic network and depend heavily on foreign travellers for its air travel and tourism.

• Second major air route in the region to open after Australia and New Zealand resumed flights last week.
• ATB (Air Travel bubble) will begin cautiously with just one flight a day in each direction carrying a maximum of 200 passengers for the first two weeks.

Singapore Airlines lost $1.66bn (£1.19bn) in the nine months to December 2020 as its passenger base took a hit of about 97%.

Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways reported a record annual loss of $2.8bn in 2020, and also fired a quarter of its staff.

Now, Singapore and Hong Kong have agreed to start quarantine-free travel between the two cities from 26 May.

Cautious Approach :

The bubble will be suspended for at least two weeks if the seven-day moving average of unlinked community cases in either city increases to more than five.

Cathay is Excited !

Cathay Pacific is excited to welcome the resumption of the Hong Kong-Singapore Air Travel Bubble and is ready to fly passengers on board its two-way, all-purpose, quarantine-free Air Travel Bubble flights starting 26 May. These flights will be operated by pilots and cabin crew who have all been fully vaccinated.

With travel having been difficult for everyone over the past year, we know that our customers have been eagerly anticipating the launch of our Hong Kong-Singapore Air Travel Bubble flights so that they can rediscover the joy of flying.

We believe the safe and secure bubble flights will be a milestone showcase for the opening of similar travel arrangements with other popular destinations.
