The Cathay Group has released its traffic figures for April 2025, indicating a significant increase in both passenger and cargo operations compared to the previous year. Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau noted that April was a positive month for the company's travel business, driven by holidays in Hong Kong, mainland China, and other parts of Asia. During the Easter travel peak on April 18, Cathay Pacific and HK Express together carried over 115,000 passengers.
Lau stated: “As a Group, we are continuing to add more ports to our extensive passenger network, having launched flights to five new destinations in just April, including Dallas-Fort Worth and Urumqi for Cathay Pacific, and Nha Trang, Ishigaki and Komatsu for HK Express.” She added that they aim to reach 100 passenger destinations within the first half of the year.
On the cargo side, recent tariff announcements between China and the United States have provided some market reassurance. Lau mentioned: “We will continue to closely monitor the market conditions and leverage our built-in flexibility to adjust freighter capacity.”
