Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong's flag carrier, is recognized as one of the world's leading airlines. Despite strong performances in its business and first-class services, both Cathay and Hong Kong are reportedly lagging behind in Asia's post-pandemic recovery.
Cathay Pacific operates with two wholly-owned subsidiaries: HK Express and Air Hong Kong. HK Express offers low-cost flights within Asia with a fleet of 36 aircraft as of June 2024. Air Hong Kong provides express cargo services across Asia with 17 aircraft at the same time. Cathay Dragon was also a subsidiary until it ceased operations in 2020.
The airline manages a total of 231 aircraft, including those operated by its subsidiaries and cargo division. The fleet serves 94 destinations globally, including major cities in mainland China. It has orders for additional aircraft such as the Airbus A330-900 and Boeing 777-9.
