Dragonair celebrated the recent launch of its service to and from Bengaluru (Bangalore) at a special gala event in the southern Indian city. More than 300 guests attended the celebration hosted by Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Kenny Tang.
Among those present were Indian government officials and representatives from India’s travel industry. Dragonair launched the new daily service between Hong Kong and Bengaluru on July 1 and is the only airline offering nonstop flights between two of the most dynamic and forward-looking cities in Asia.
Speaking at the gala event that marked Dragonair’s beginning of passenger services in India, Mr Tang said: “We are delighted to see ties between India and Hong Kong being moved to a new level with the start of our flights. I am sure the travellers of Bengaluru and southern India will soon become familiar with the Dragonair brand.”
Bengaluru is the seventh new destination Dragonair has launched since becoming part of the Cathay Pacific Group in September 2006, a development which brought many benefits for the travelling public.
“With the support of our sister airline Cathay Pacific’s international network, the service between Bengaluru and Hong Kong will have a significant international reach, offering Indian travellers convenient connections to the rest of the world through the Hong Kong hub,” Mr Tang added.
