Cathay offers its congratulations to Hong Kong International Airport ahead of the
commissioning of the Three-Runway System, which will mark a new phase of
growth and development for the Hong Kong international aviation hub.
Cathay is proud to support the continued development of its home hub, with the
Group’s airlines reaching 100% of pre-pandemic flights from January 2025.
Together, Cathay Pacific and HK Express will continue to add more flights and
destinations for their customers. The two airlines project to operate passenger
services to 100 destinations around the world within 2025, a meaningful milestone
for the Cathay Group.
As Hong Kong’s flagship airline group, Cathay is firmly committed to the city’s long-
term growth and development. This is exemplified by the Group’s commitment of
more than HK$100 billion in investments over the next seven years. The
investment includes orders for more than 100 new-generation aircraft, world-
leading cabin interiors and lounges, as well as digital and sustainability leadership.
This reflects our strong commitment to boost air travel and cargo capacity, elevate
customer experience and strengthen the Hong Kong international aviation hub.
Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer Ronald Lam said: “The introduction of the
Three-Runway System will be a landmark moment for Hong Kong, one that ushers
in a new era of possibilities for our home hub and its aviation industry. On behalf of
Cathay, I would like to congratulate the Hong Kong SAR Government and the
Airport Authority Hong Kong for this significant achievement.
“I am particularly pleased that the successful completion of Cathay’s rebuild
coincides with the opening of the Three-Runway System. We can now truly put the
pandemic behind us and firmly focus on the future.
“Our confidence in the long-term prospects of our home hub is as resolute as ever.
As we look ahead to the many exciting opportunities that the Three-Runway
System will provide, we are eager to continue doing our part to elevate Hong
Kong’s status as a world-leading international aviation hub, connecting Hong Kong,
the Chinese Mainland and the world.”
