After it dropped return airfares between Sydney and HK in early May, Hong Kong Airlines has done it again. Ahead of the launch of its new Sydney-Hong Kong service (HX017/HX018) on 21 June, the full-service carrier is offering another exclusive Aussie airfare deal for the travel industry, with return economy class fares for $149 and return business class fares for just $1,499 – plus taxes of around $524.
Valid to book until 13 June or until sold out (whichever comes first), the offer is open to licensed travel agents, plus employees of airlines, tour operators, hotels, tourism boards and airport services.
Travel must be taken between 21 June and 26 October 2025 with outbound departures (ex-Sydney) limited to Monday–Thursday only.
Hong Kong Airlines announced the launch of its Sydney flights earlier this year.
“This new daily service not only increases capacity but also provides passengers with more choice to explore one of Asia’s most vibrant cities,” Sydney Airport CEO Scott Charlton said when the new route was revealed.
“The arrival of Hong Kong Airlines will enhance opportunities for trade, tourism, and cultural exchange between Sydney and Hong Kong, delivering significant economic benefits to NSW and Australia.”
Last week, the Asian carrier and Australia’s busiest hub celebrated the upcoming service at an industry event at the Shangri-La Hotel.
Attendees included Sydney Airport Group Executive Aviation Growth and Group Strategy Greg Botham, Hong Kong Airlines Assistant President Gloria Slethhaug, and Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and Shangri-La Hotel representatives.
In January 2025, Hong Kong Airlines also touched down at Gold Coast Airport, reinstating the direct route for the first time since 2018.
HKTB recently revealed a boom in arrivals from January to March 2025, with Aussie visitation to HK up 32 per cent compared to the first quarter of 2024.
