Breaking News: HK Express Takes Flight to Sendai!

In a major move for budget travelers, HK Express Airways has officially launched its new direct route from Hong Kong to Sendai, Japan. This exciting service will operate four times a week, making it easier than ever for adventurous souls in Hong Kong to explore Japan's beautiful Tohoku region. The announcement is part of HK Express's ambitious growth strategy, revealed back in September 2024.

Jeanette Mao, CEO of HK Express, stated, "As Hong Kong’s only low-cost carrier, we’re dedicated to providing affordable fares and a variety of value-added services to meet our customers’ needs." The airline is already recognized as the world’s fastest-growing airline in 2024, and this latest development marks their first foray into new destinations for 2025.

With the addition of Sendai, HK Express now boasts nearly 170 weekly flights between Hong Kong and Japan, significantly expanding travel options for its customers. This new route comes at a pivotal time as Japan has recently relaxed its visa restrictions, making it easier for travelers from mainland China to visit. This move is expected to boost cultural exchanges and fan the flames of Japan’s already flourishing tourism sector.

In a bid to further tap into the growing demand for Japanese destinations, HK Express has also reinstated its Hiroshima route, indicating a revival of interest in Japan as a travel hot spot.

"Sendai is the perfect gateway for travelers to explore surrounding cities and discover new adventures in Tohoku," Mao emphasized. With the Cathay Group's ambitious plan to operate passenger services to 100 destinations globally this year, the prospects for increased travel to Japan are looking promising.
