“The launch of our new service to Los Angeles represents another step of our transition from a regional carrier to a global airline,” said Tang King Shing, vice chairman of Hong Kong Airlines.

 

Hong Kong Airlines received its first A350-900 in September 2017 and currently has three, with 18 more on order.

 

Los Angeles is the airline’s second destination in North America, following the launch of a daily flight to Vancouver with an A330-200 in June.

 

Hong Kong Airlines also plans to launch flights to San Francisco and New York with its A350s in 2018.
