Thursday, January 2, 2025 The Cathay Group proudly celebrates a remarkable achievement, having transported over 100,000 passengers in a single day—its highest since embarking on its rebuilding journey. On December 15, 2024, Cathay Pacific and HK Express, the Group’s two passenger airlines, recorded a combined total of 100,856 passengers, breaking past the significant 100,000-passenger threshold for a single day. Following this milestone, the Group maintained this momentum by surpassing the 100,000-passenger mark on eight separate days during the peak year-end travel period, which concluded on December 31, 2024.
Cathay Group Chief Executive Officer Ronald Lam said: “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.” Cathay Pacific has recently resumed its seasonal flights to Cairns, Aus.
