Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) tracks 8 destinations here, all international and all South Asian — Dhaka, Kathmandu, Delhi, Colombo, Lahore, Islamabad, Mumbai and Karachi. Half of them, four routes, carry a verified historical direct-service record: Dhaka, Kathmandu, Delhi and Mumbai.
This is a narrower slice than Hong Kong's actual global network, which historically spans dozens of long-haul markets across Asia, Europe and North America; the eight destinations tracked here are specifically the South Asian corridor, and within it the verified routes cluster around India, with Delhi in particular carrying five separate airlines on file including Cathay Pacific, Jet Airways and Etihad. Colombo, Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi sit at similar or shorter distances than the verified routes but show no historical record here, so they're best treated as real, useful reference city pairs rather than confirmed nonstop service until checked in a live GDS.
All 8 of Hong Kong's tracked connections are international, and all but one fall in the medium-haul band between 3.5 and 5.6 hours; Dhaka alone is short-haul at 2.8 hours. Four of the eight — Dhaka, Kathmandu, Delhi and Mumbai — carry verified historical service, several with multiple competing carriers.

Four of Hong Kong's eight tracked connections show a verified historical operating record — Dhaka, Kathmandu, Delhi and Mumbai — with Delhi carrying five airlines on file, the densest single route in this list.
OpenFlights' historical route dataset records 5 carriers operating this city pair, flying 77L, Airbus A330, Airbus A330-200 and other types. It's the best-served pair in Hong Kong's whole tracked network — still confirm current-day operation and schedule in your GDS before quoting, since this dataset reflects historical service, not a live timetable.

RA Royal Nepal AirlinesAn HKG-origin availability search in Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo or Apollo for Delhi will typically surface the widest carrier choice of any route on this list; for the four unverified city pairs, treat the live GDS response as the current source of truth rather than this historical dataset.

Replace xxx with the destination's own 3-letter IATA code from the tables above — the availability-check syntax itself doesn't change by destination, only the city pair does.
8, and all of them are in South Asia: Dhaka, Kathmandu, Delhi, Colombo, Lahore, Islamabad, Mumbai and Karachi. This is a subset of Hong Kong's much larger real-world route network, not the full picture.
Delhi, with five: Jet Airways, Air India, Cathay Pacific, Etihad Airways and Asiana Airlines all show a historical operating record on this route.
No — neither carries a verified historical direct-service record in this dataset, despite sitting within the same medium-haul distance band as verified routes like Delhi and Mumbai.
No domestic connections; all 8 tracked destinations are international. And no long-haul either — everything is short-haul (Dhaka only) or medium-haul (the other seven), reflecting how close South Asia sits to Hong Kong relative to Europe or North America.
Dhaka, at 2,409 km and about 2.8 hours — also a verified route, with Biman Bangladesh Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Dragonair all on record.
