Cathay Group surpasses 100,000 passengers’ milestone on single day
Dhaka: The Cathay Group announces that it has achieved a significant milestone by carrying over 100,000 passengers—the most on a single day since the start of its rebuild.
On December 15, 2024, Cathay Pacific and HK Express, the Group’s two passenger airlines, carried a combined total of 100,856 passengers, surpassing the 100,000-passenger mark on a single day, said a release.
Since the milestone was first reached, the Group exceeded the 100,000-passenger mark on a total of eight days during the year-end travel peak ending December 31, 2024, added the release.
On the development, Ronald Lam, Chief Executive Officer, Cathay Group said, “We are thrilled to have concluded the year 2024 on a high note with yet another milestone. We are pleased to have successfully completed our two-year rebuilding journey, during which we were firmly focused on adding more flights and destinations for our customers and our home hub. A new chapter has now begun for Cathay.”
Cathay Pacific recently resumed its seasonal service to Cairns, Australia and will be launching several long-haul routes in 2025, including Hyderabad in India, Dallas in the United States, and Munich and Brussels in Europe.
In addition, HK Express added Shizuoka, Japan to its network recently and will be launching a new service to Sendai, Japan later in January.
Together as a Group, Cathay Pacific and HK Express have reached 100 per cent of pre-pandemic flights from January 2025.
It is projected that the two airlines will operate passenger services to 100 destinations around the world within 2025, marking another meaningful milestone for the Cathay Group.
