Cathay continues to invest in the Hong Kong international aviation hub by ordering 14 more new aircraft

The Cathay Group (Cathay) announced that it has ordered 14 more regional widebody and narrowbody aircraft as it continues to expand and upgrade its fleet to support its long-term growth plans.

Cathay has exercised purchase rights for 11 more Airbus A330-900 aircraft, on top of the 30 it previously ordered in 2024. Additionally, Cathay has exercised purchase rights for three more Airbus A321neo narrowbody aircraft, on top of the 32 Airbus A321neo and A320neo aircraft it previously ordered in 2023.

The A330-900 will support the growth of Cathay Pacific’s regional network and provide it with more passenger and cargo capacity, while the A321neo will further build on HK Express’ growth potential with its focus on destinations in the Chinese Mainland and other short-haul routes.

Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer Ronald Lam said: “We are pleased to further strengthen our fleet with new orders for these state-of-the-art, fuel-efficient aircraft, which will enhance connectivity at our home hub Hong Kong and contribute to our sustainability leadership goals.
