Cathay Pacific
Cathay Pacific is the flagship carrier of Hong Kong and one of the most prominent airlines in the world. Founded in 1946, the airline is based at Hong Kong International Airport and is a founding member of the oneworld alliance. As of early 2026, the carrier has fully restored its pre-pandemic capacity and is focused on premium growth and sustainability:
- Fleet: The airline operates a modern wide-body fleet consisting of Airbus A350s, Boeing 777-300ERs, and Airbus A330s. In 2026, it is preparing for the highly anticipated arrival of the Boeing 777-9, which will feature its next generation of cabin products.
- Network: It serves approximately 80 destinations across Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. In 2026, the airline expanded its reach in the Middle East and Europe, including new nonstop services to Riyadh and expanded frequencies to London and Paris.
- Aria Suite: The airline is currently rolling out its new business class experience, the Aria Suite, on its retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. These suites feature sliding privacy doors, wireless charging, and personalized lighting.
- Sustainability: Cathay Pacific has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In 2026, it increased its usage of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and continues to retire older, less efficient aircraft.
- Loyalty Program: The airline uses Cathay as its primary membership program, where members earn and redeem Asia Miles. It offers four status tiers—Green, Silver, Gold, and Diamond—each providing varying levels of lounge access and priority service.
- Lounge Excellence: The carrier is world-renowned for its lounges at Hong Kong International Airport, such as The Pier and The Wing, which are often cited as some of the best in the aviation industry.
