Also included in the codeshare pact are select Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon short haul flights out of Hong Kong which include services to 10 cities in India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

"This new cooperation enables us to strengthen our connectivity across our Southwest Pacific network as well as grow the oneworld alliance," said Cathay Pacific chief customer and commercial officer, Paul Loo.

"Australia has been a key destination for Cathay Pacific ever since we launched our first commercial operations to the country nearly half a century ago."

There will be more options to earn frequent flyer points through their respective loyalty programmes, the airlines said.
