Cathay Group aims to return to pre-COVID operation levels by January 2025.
Cathay Pacific Airways and Hong Kong Express Airways have planned to operate passenger flights to 100 destinations worldwide by 2025. They have already announced investments exceeding 100 billion Hong Kong dollars over the next seven years, including more than 100 new-generation aircraft, cabin renovations, lounges, digital, and sustainability initiatives.
Hong Kong International Airport, the hub for Cathay Group, is starting the operation of three runways. This addition relieves the crowded slots and allows for better on-time performance and expansion of operations.
Cathay Group’s CEO, Ronald Lam, commented, “The introduction of the three-runway system is a landmark event for Hong Kong and will herald a new era of possibilities for our hub and the aviation industry. On behalf of Cathay, I would like to express our congratulations to the Hong Kong SAR Government and the Airport Authority Hong Kong on this significant achievement.”
