Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Limited, operating as Cathay Dragon (previously as Dragonair), is an international airline headquartered in Hong Kong, with its corporate headquarters, Dragonair House, and main hub at Hong Kong International Airport.[1] As of 30 October 2013, the airline operates a scheduled passenger service to 44 destinations in 13 countries and territories across Asia. Additionally, 3 other destinations in the network are served by partner airlines using codeshares.[2] The airline was founded on 24 May 1985 by Kuang-Piu Chao, the airline's present honorary chairman.[3][4]

Dragonair is a wholly owned subsidiary and the regional wing of Hong Kong's flag carrier, Cathay Pacific, and an affiliate member of the Oneworld alliance.[5] The airline operates as a regional airline that concentrates on destinations in the People's Republic of China and within Asia, while its parent operates a worldwide network to destinations in Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America and Africa.[6] Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport was the airline's first operational hub. Dragonair Flight 841 from Chongqing was the airport's last scheduled arrival flight.[7]

Dragonair operated its first commercial flight from Hong Kong to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia in July 1985 with a Boeing 737-200 aircraft, after receiving its air operator's certificate. In 1986, the airline introduced regular passenger services to Guilin, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Xiamen in the People's Republic of China, and to Phuket, Thailand. In the following years, the airline's operations expanded to more cities in the People's Republic of China and to other countries across Asia, including Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Japan, Nepal, Philippines, the Republic of China (Taiwan), South Korea and Vietnam.[8][9] Initially, Dragonair operated its passenger services only as regular charter flights; these were passenger flights that were operated by the airline on a programme basis similar to scheduled flights, but were not part of the air services agreement between their respective countries.[10][11] The airline was granted scheduled services rights in 1990.[12]

The airline's cargo division, Dragonair Cargo, operated a fleet of Boeing aircraft to destinations in Asia, Europe and the United States between 2000 and 2008. The inaugural all-cargo flight was a Boeing 747-200 freighter bound for Dubai, Amsterdam and Manchester. The airline's freighter fleet was either consolidated into the Cathay Pacific fleet or retired by January 2009.[13][14]

The destination list shows airports that have been served by Dragonair as part of its regular charter and scheduled passenger services, and scheduled cargo services since its founding in 1985. The list includes the city and country name; the airport codes of the International Air Transport Association (IATA airport code) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO airport code); the airport name; and the beginning and end year of services. Additionally, there are labels for airports that: have been served only by cargo or regular charter service, are the airline's hub, or have services suspended or terminated and subsequently been resumed or recommenced.
