very fascinating. i thought CX already had enough connectivity with AA, but this would make it limitless.
AA is giving up this route to CX, despite the route performing well in the past. that means AA is officially not coming back. the question is would cx have a shortage of A350 after this, considering the massive frequency increases apart from this. also this is a good way to stop starlux from getting into oneworld.. |

There will not be an A350-1000 shortage as aircraft on other routes are being swapped to B777-300ERs (iirc. FRA is one of them?). |
Is this DFW thing official? So far I have not found a single source except FT.

DFW just officially announced
Cathay Pacific is pleased to announce it is further expanding its North America network with the launch of non-stop flights between Hong Kong and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) for the very first time. The new service, scheduled to commence on 24 April 2025, marks Cathay Pacific’s sixth passenger destination in the United States and eighth in North America, further reinforcing the airline’s presence on the continent while bolstering the global connectivity of its home hub, Hong Kong. Cathay Group Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau said: “With our unique position of having deep roots in Hong Kong, being proudly part of China, and connecting the world, Cathay continues to build Hong Kong as a leading international aviation hub that connects people to the most exciting places in the world. “Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is one of the world’s busiest airports. With our Cathay Pacific codeshares as well as other flight options, customers can connect to over 190 domestic destinations in the United States, as well as 11 destinations in Central and South America via DFW, further enhancing Hong Kong’s connectivity with North America and important Belt and Road Initiative participating countries.” Currently, Cathay Pacific operates 88 return passenger flights per week to destinations in North America, including Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver. To complement its existing network in North America, the airline will operate four return flights per week between Hong Kong and DFW using its modern Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. |

Cathay will introduce non-stop flights between Hong Kong (HKG) and Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) starting April 2025.
The airline has also announced greatly expanded schedules on existing North American routes. With New York receiving thrice-daily return flights while San Francisco, Los Angeles. Boston and Chicago will each receive daily return flights. Canadian services will also see growth, with Vancouver receiving two daily return flights and Toronto 13 weekly return flights. |

CX will better use the regional A330s and 777 Overall frequency to NA is still well behind 2019 even after DFW. An exciting addition! already looking at using it for the next trip to Mexico |

I think next year you are going to see less of the A350 om short haul flights.
CX will better use the regional A330s and A350s Overall frequency to NA is still well behind 2019 even after DFW. An exciting addition! Beginning NS25, ORD and BOS will both be 7 weekly LAX, JFK and SFO are all 21 weekly YVR and YYZ both 14 weekly with the addition of 4 weekly DFW the only decline since pandemic is 7 weekly on JFK, 4-5 weekly on IAD, 6 weekly on SEA and 5 weekly on EWR. |

I have a feeling AA had something to do with this route given it will feed them traffic. They may have been worried about coming back to HK because they saw it as more of a risk now whether in political or economic terms, but happy to be paid to take on interline passengers.
The statement from Lavinia Lau in SCMP is a very funny example of CX trying to have its cake and eat it too in arguing that this is actually a "Belt and Road" connector route because of AA connections to Latin America: https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/...gtype=homepage Everyone finding ways to make money in this geopolitical environment. ;) |
