Good news: After more than half a year, the Hong Kong airline Cathay Pacific has announced that it will resume its passenger flights on the Hong Kong-Tel Aviv route. The flights will be resumed on September 24, the company will initially operate two weekly flights.

The company's decision to return the line to Israel for operations comes after in recent months it operated mainly cargo flights to Israel. It is important to note that Hong Kong is currently closed to most countries in the world, but new decisions on the subject may be made by next month.

The renewal of the Cathay Pacific line is in line for many Israelis who want to reach the East. Cathay will be the first Asian company to renew flights to Israel, thus connecting Israelis to Asia. Hong Kong Airlines operates flights to almost all Asian countries, so it is a very short and convenient option to reach countries in the region.

Most Asian countries are currently closed to tourists, but it is expected that Thailand will open its gates in the coming weeks to tourists from green countries. The airports in Tokyo and Bangkok have already set up corona laboratories that are expected to make it easier to receive tourists. Japan and Korea are preparing a plan to receive tourists and it is currently unclear which countries will be able to enter and under what conditions, a decision on this matter is also expected in the coming weeks.

Hong Kong, as mentioned, borders China and is a major point for tourists and business people who want to continue to countries such as Taiwan, Vietnam and the Philippines. Currently, no other Asian company has announced the return of lines to Israel for operation. The only Israeli airline that operated flights to Hong Kong and Asia in general was El Al, which is currently in the worst crisis in its history and it is unclear when it will return to operations.
