Hong Kong Airlines has launched seasonal flights to Yonago and Hakodate in Japan in response to an expected travel surge this winter season.
The two-month winter service is available until February 2024, covering Lunar New Year travel peaks.
According to the airline, the inaugural flights to Yonago and Hakodate saw over 400 travelers embarking on their winter holidays to these popular Japanese destinations. To make it more convenient for travelers, a shuttle bus service has been dedicated between Yonago Kitaro Airport and Yonago City on flight operation days.
Hong Kong Airlines' launch of its first-ever seasonal service to Hakodate solidifies its position as the sole local airline offering direct flights between the two cities, further enriching the airline's diverse range of travel options.
Hong Kong Airlines rolled out its first scheduled flights to Yonago in 2016. Meanwhile, Jevey Zhang, Chairman of Hong Kong Airlines, said the inaugural flight from Hong Kong to Hakodate reached more than 90% passenger capacity, reflecting tourists' interest in exploring Hokkaido. The airline also flies three times a week to Sapporo, another popular winter travel destination among Hong Kongers.
