Cathay Pacific Group, which comprises of Cathay Pacific and HK Express, has surpassed the 1,00,000-passenger mark in a single day for the first time since the group started its “rebuild” after the pandemic.
Cathay Group’s 1,00,000-passenger milestone
On 15th December 2024, Cathay Pacific and HK Express together flew 1,00,856 passengers, surpassing the 100,000-passenger mark on a single day. 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 31st December 2024.
We are thrilled to have concluded the year 2024 on a high note with yet another milestone. The past year saw unprecedented progress and expansion for the Cathay Group, thanks to our people’s dedication and efforts. In particular, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our global frontline teams, who have been working tirelessly over the holiday period to ensure that our customers enjoy a smooth journey as they explore new destinations or reunite with their friends and families during the holidays.
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.
