Cathay Pacific Celebrates 65 Years of Flights to Japan with Special Event
Cathay Pacific is holding an event titled “Welcome to the Suite in the Sky” at Tokyo Midtown until September 15th to commemorate its 65th anniversary of operations in Japan.
The event features a corner that looks back on the 65-year history, an exhibition of flight attendant uniforms over the years, a section that introduces products available for online purchase, and a photo spot.
A mini-theater allows visitors to experience the ambience of the new Business Class “Aria Suite,” set to be introduced on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft starting this year. The suite, which turns into a full-flat private space with doors, features a Bluetooth-compatible 24-inch 4K monitor and supports wireless charging, offering a simulated journey to Hong Kong.
In the lounge zone, Cathay members can enjoy Business Class drinks accompanied by Hong Kong’s signature sweet, “Egg Tart.” Offerings include espresso coffee from the Italian brand illy and cafe latte with the logo, three varieties of premium British tea from JING Tea, and a special craft beer, “Betsy Beer,” all of which are served in the Cathay Pacific Lounge and on board.
By visiting all four zones and collecting stamps, participants can try their luck at a gacha machine for a chance to win original merchandise such as model planes, first-class pajamas, flight tags, and luggage tags.
Cathay Pacific was established in 1946. The airline commenced operations to Japan in 1959 with the Tokyo/Haneda-Hong Kong route. Since then, it has expanded its network to include Itami Airport in 1960 (as the first international flight), Fukuoka in 1965, Nagoya in 1966, Sapporo in 1990, and Tokushima in 2018.
The event is held in the B1F Atrium. The opening hours are from 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM on the 13th, and from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on the 14th and 15th.
