Hong Kong Express Airways Limited
HK Express is Hong Kong’s first and only low-cost carrier (LCC). Focusing on low fares and on-time reliability, HK Express has brought true competition to the Hong Kong market and surrounding region.
On 27October, 2013 HK Express started flying to five Asian cities including Chiang Mai and Phuket in Thailand, Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia, Kunming in China, and Taichung in Taiwan. HK Express’ network also includes Tokyo from 7 November, Penang from 14 November and Osaka from 21 November, 2013.
HK Express currently operates a fleet of 5 modern Airbus A320 aircraft with seating for up to 174 Guests. There are plans to increase our fleet by 6 Airbus A320s in 2014. This will increase the total number of aircraft to 11. As the list of destinations increases, HK Express’ fleet is set to grow even further with plans for over 30 Airbus A320’s by 2018. To match the overwhelming demand for new destinations and more flights throughout our existing network, HK Express has been hiring, on average, one new staff member every two days. HK Express plans to recruit 300 new cabin crew by the end of 2015.
