Background ✨
Cathay Pacific Group reported plans to induct 150 new aircraft over 10 years, split evenly between replacement and growth, lifting its fleet to about 300 from 235, supported by capacity from Hong Kong International Airport’s three-runway system1. CEO Ronald Lam said it intended to place another “substantial” order and had reserved HKD100 billion for investments through to 2031, including new-generation fleet spending2. It also ordered 14 additional Boeing 777-9s, taking 777-9 orders to 35, as part of 777-300ER replacement planning3.
