From January 2026 Cathay Pacific will put the Business Class Aria Suite on selected flights between Hong Kong and Milan Malpensa.
Hong Kong-Milan flights three days a week
The Hong Kong-Milan flights will initially operate three times a week - Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays - with the aim of achieving a daily frequency in the first half of next year. Hong Kong-Milan is Cathay's third European route to receive the new Business Class cabin, which is also available on daily flights from Hong Kong to London Heathrow and Frankfurt. The refurbished Boeing 777-300Er also offers a new Premium Economy cabin and a revamped Economy cabin.
Cathay Pacific: over 15 years in Italy
“Milan is an important city for Cathay Pacific, which we have been serving for more than 15 years.- Brian Tsoi, general manager Europe, Cathay. -With the introduction of the Aria Suite we offer our passengers even more comfort and a travel experience that sets a new standard. Together with the resumption of our summer flights between Hong Kong and Rome in June 2025, this helps underline the importance of the Italian market for Cathay Pacific, and is an important step in further strengthening connections between Hong Hong, Italy and Europe."
A re-imagined cabin experience
The Aria Suite was officially launched in Hong Kong in October last year and has since been in service on flights to London, Sydney, Melbourne, Vancouver and Frankfurt. From 31 December, the new Business Suite will also be available on selected flights between Hong Kong and San Francisco. The Aria Suite is a completely re-imagined cabin experience, combining unprecedented comfort, human-centred design and carefully thought-out functionality. With an even more customizable on-board experience and elegant finishes, the Aria Suite sets new standards for premium travel.

On long-haul flights from Hong Kong, passengers can enjoy a selection of menus developed in collaboration with Michelin-starred restaurants for an authentic experience of Hong Kong's renowned culinary scene.
