Three new airlines introduced scheduled passenger services to Hong Kong in 2001: Continental Airlines between New York and Hong Kong in March (marking a new era of non-stop service between the east coast of the United States and Hong Kong), Pacific Airlines between Da Nang and Hong Kong in April, and Cebu Pacific Air between Manila and Hong Kong in November. Three other airlines commenced scheduled all-cargo services to Hong Kong during the year: Transmile Air Services between Penang and Hong Kong in May, Air Freight Express between London and Hong Kong in July, and Singapore Airlines Cargo between Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States in July (taking over the air cargo operations from Singapore Airlines).
On the other hand, Ansett International suspended all its services to Hong Kong in September due to the company's financial difficulties. Alitalia suspended its scheduled passenger services to Hong Kong in October but continued to operate
