Cathay Pacific was the only airline to operate Convair jetliners on scheduled services into Australia and then only to Perth from Hong Kong via regional ports Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur. The delivery of Boeing 707s allowed Cathay to establish non-stop services to the major eastern Australian markets.
