Cathay Pacific has unveiled plans to return to the US tech hub Seattle, making it the ninth North American city to which the Hong Kong flag carrier flies. On September 9, 2025, Cathay Pacific announced that non-stop flights to Seattle would begin from March 30, 2026, with five flights between Hong Kong and the US city scheduled each week. Flights to Seattle will fly out on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, returning later on the same day. Cathay is also increasing its direct passenger flights between Hong Kong and Dallas-Fort Worth Airport (DFW). The service to Seattle launched in April 2025 with four flights a week, but from October 26, 2025, it will become daily.
