The airline triumphed in the Passenger Comfort category with its Aria Suite Business class, and also in the Judges' Choice: Airline Innovation category for its Gallery in the Skies art concept. The awards ceremony took place in Hamburg on April 8, 2025.
Guillaume Vivet, General Manager of Customer Experience Design at Cathay Pacific, expressed pride in the awards: “Being recognised with these prestigious awards is an incredible honour, and a reflection of our deep commitment to delivering a world-class customer experience through thoughtful, human-centric design. To be recognised with two awards in the same year for features as diverse as our IFE and control system and Gallery in the Skies in our Aria Suite cabins is a testament to the innovation and the holistic approach to design that guides everything we do for our customers. These accolades are the result of incredible teamwork by our people at Cathay Pacific and with our partners.”
