Cathay Pacific will launch a seasonal non-stop service directly linking Cape Town to Hong Kong from 13 November 2018 to 18 February 2019.
The new service will be operated by an Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
“Growing our reach to destinations that are not otherwise served from Hong Kong creates considerable new opportunities for business, trade and tourism, in addition to strengthening our home hub,” said Cathay Pacific chief executive officer Rupert Hogg.
