Flight HX060 departed Hong Kong on time at 1303 and touched down at San Francisco International Airport at 1023 local time. Following a celebration event at the boarding gate hosted by Hong Kong Airlines, flight HX061 departed from San Francisco at noon and is scheduled to arrive ahead of time on early Monday evening. To mark this special occasion, Mark Farrell, Mayor of the City and County of San Francisco, proclaimed March 25, 2018, as the "Hong Kong Airlines Day in San Francisco."
Mr George Liu, Chief Marketing Officer at Hong Kong Airlines, said: "We are thrilled to launch our new service between Hong Kong and San Francisco, connecting two great cities with a non-stop direct flight. While Hong Kong Airlines is relatively new to the North American market, we are committed to offering a value proposition to our customers, including the deployment of Airbus A350, one of the most technologically advanced aircraft in the world, and ensuring customers enjoy an exceptional in-flight service delivered by our energetic crew."
"We are pleased to welcome the launch of Hong Kong Airlines' new nonstop service to SFO," said San Francisco International Airport Director Ivar C. Satero. "As only the second destination in the United States, we are honoured that Hong Kong Airlines has made our airport an important part of their growth strategy. This move reinforces SFO as the premier international gateway to the San Francisco Bay Area."
Business Class passengers can also look forward to receiving an updated set of Hong Kong-themed amenity kits, designed by Hong Kong's Ricebowl Republic and CLIP. Each pouch is made with thick cotton canvas and lined with bold-coloured fabric, featuring birdcage, teapot, rice bowl or the Hong Kong city skyline.
