After a long pause spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, Cathay Pacific is once again offering nonstop flights from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Hong Kong, beginning March 30, 2026.

The airline first launched the route in 2019 and has announced it will now resume flights five times per week using its Airbus A350-900 aircraft, according to KIRO 7.
