Hong Kong’s low-cost carrier HK Express today announced its fleet expansion with the arrival of its first Airbus A321neo aircraft.

In anticipation of soaring demand for leisure travel in Asia, the delivery is the first of the 16 Airbus A321neo aircraft, which will be delivered over the next two years.

This is timed strategically with the anticipated full operation of the Three Runway System at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) by end-2024.
