Yonago becomes Greater Bay Airlines’ third destination in Japan starting late October

(19 August 2024) Greater Bay Airlines (GBA) today announced the launch of a scheduled service to Yonago in Tottori Prefecture starting 27 October 2024, adding the third destination in Japan to the airline’s network following Tokyo and Osaka. This new service will operate three times a week between Hong Kong and Yonago (Yonago Kitaro Airport). Currently, GBA is operating charter flights for this route to meet the demand in the summer holiday.

Yonago is a major city in the western part of Tottori, a well-preserved historical town featuring many magnificent natural sceneries including Mount Daisen and Tottori Sand Dune. A stay at a hot spring resort is an ideal itinerary item, for example, Kaike Onsen does not offer only a rejuvenating experience but also a stunning sunrise view of Sea of Japan. Mizuki Shigeru Road is also a popular attraction for children and adults alike. Some 170 bronze statues of the manga characters, such as the one-eyed ghost-boy Kitaro, all created by the legendary manga artist Mr Shigeru Mizuki were displayed on the 800-metre arcade.

The flight schedule of GBA’s Hong Kong – Yonago service is as follows:
