Cathay offers its congratulations to Hong Kong International Airport ahead of the commissioning of the Three-Runway System, marking a new phase of  growth and development for the Hong Kong international aviation hub. 

Cathay Group CEO 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.” 

The aviation group is proud to support the continued development of its home hub, with its airlines reaching 100 percent of pre-pandemic flights from January 2025.  

Together, Cathay Pacific and HK Express will continue to add more flights and  destinations for their customers.

This reflects the aviation firm’s strong commitment to boost air travel and cargo capacity, elevate customer experience and strengthen the Hong Kong international aviation hub.
