Dragonair is a great way to get from the unique city of Hong Kong to the main cities in mainland China. Scheduled services operate to 33 cities throughout SE Asia including Beijing, Changsha, Chengdu, Chongquin, Dalian, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Guilin, Haikou, Hangzhou, Kunming, Nanjing, Ningbo, Qingdao, Sanya, Shanghai, Shenyang, Tianjin, Wuhan, Xiamen and Xian. Internationally, flights are operated to six countries including Bangladesh (Dhaka), Brunei, Japan (Tokyo), Korea (Busan), Taiwan (Taipei and Kaoshiing) and Thailand (Phuket).
2006 was a watershed year for Dragonair, which saw it become 100% owned by Cathay Pacific. This deal works in both directions giving Cathay its entrée into the dramatically expanding Chinese market for air travel and giving Dragonair the long-haul international traffic off Cathay’s long haul network. Thoroughly professional with modern aircraft, Dragonair will remain a separate brand for some years to come however we expect the impact of its new ownership (and the internationalisation of China, the country) to have a westernising impact on it customer service and approach to passengers. NEWS UPDATE: DRAGONAIR wins 2 prestigious awards. Dragon Air has just been voted the best airline in China and also the best in SE Asia in 2007, over 15 million people of 97 nationalaties took part in the SKYTRAK worldwide survey.
Dragonair’s distinctive livery is on the side of a mixed fleet of 36 aircraft, including Boeing 747’s and Airbus 300/320/321/330’s.
