Cathay supports government's plan for expanding Hong Kong's aviation capabilities

Lam commented on Cathay's commitment: “As Hong Kong’s home airline, we are eagerly looking forward to the new era of our international aviation hub that will take Hong Kong to new heights. We are a committed enabler of Hong Kong’s future through the connectivity we provide.”

Cathay anticipates further developments in mega-event tourism economy support and arts and culture scene reinforcement through collaborations like those with West Kowloon Cultural District Authority. The company also looks forward to improved intermodal connectivity between Hong Kong and Greater Bay Area locations.

On cargo operations, Lam noted: “Cathay is the largest cargo operator in the busiest cargo airport in the world.” He emphasized support for government initiatives enhancing HKIA Dongguan Logistics Park processing capacity.

Additionally, Cathay backs government moves towards sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) development and talent attraction schemes related to developing Hong Kong's "eight centres."

Lam concluded positively about these policy directions: “Cathay is greatly encouraged by the promising initiatives outlined in the 2024 Policy Address.”
