Cathay Pacific is set to expand its U.S. network with the addition of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to its routes. Beginning April 24, 2024, the airline will offer four weekly flights connecting Dallas with its home base in Hong Kong. The Oneworld Alliance member will use Airbus A350-1000 aircraft on the route, offering business, premium economy, and economy cabins. Cathay Pacific will be the only airline offering direct flights on this route.

Cathay Pacific Airways has grounded its entire Airbus A350 fleet for inspections after an engine component failure on a flight from Hong Kong to Zurich. The issue, identified during flight CX383, prompted the airline to cancel 24 flights and conduct a thorough check of its 48 A350 aircraft.

The problem, reportedly linked to a fuel nozzle in the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engine, marks the first such failure on any A350 worldwide. Cathay secured spare parts for necessary repairs and is working closely with Rolls-Royce, Airbus, and regulators to address the issue.
