Cathay Pacific has expressed support for the Hong Kong SAR Government's new initiatives aimed at bolstering Hong Kong's status as a leading international aviation hub. These measures, outlined in the Chief Executive’s 2024 Policy Address, include the commissioning of a Three-Runway System and plans to more than double the scale of Airport City.
Ronald Lam, Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer, stated: “Hong Kong International Airport is one of the world's busiest airports for international travel and the world's busiest cargo gateway. The Three-Runway System is poised to open up many exciting opportunities, including tens of millions of additional passengers and millions of additional tonnes of cargo each year.”
The expansion of Airport City is expected to enhance tourism and retail prospects in Hong Kong. Cathay supports these efforts as they aim to strengthen air connectivity with Mainland China and improve cooperation with civil aviation authorities from Belt and Road countries. This initiative also seeks to develop visitor sources from regions such as the Middle East and ASEAN countries.
