Starting December 12, 2025, Hong Kong Airlines will launch direct flights to Melbourne three times weekly using its Airbus A330-300. The expansion follows earlier additions of Gold Coast and Sydney, marking strong growth in its Australia network. With 24 lie-flat business seats and 279 in economy, this route boosts options on the Hong Kong–Melbourne corridor. Flights depart Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, further enhancing travel links between the two cities.
