The airline was founded on 24 September 1946 by Australian Sydney H. de Kantzow and American Roy C. Farrell. The airline made the world 's first non-stop transpolar flight flying over the North Pole in July 1998, which was also the maiden flight to arrive at the then new Hong Kong International Airport. The airline celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2006 ; and as of October 2009, its major shareholders are Swire Pacific and Air China. It is reciprocally one of the major shareholders of Air China.

Niki, a DC - 3 painted to imitate the appearance of the carrier 's second aircraft, outside Cathay City Cathay Pacific Airways was founded on 24 September 1946 in Hong Kong, with Sydney de Kantzow, Roy Farrell, as well as Neil Buchanan, Donald Brittan Evans and Robert `` Bob '' Stanley Russell were the initial shareholders. Buchanan and Russell already worked for de Kantzow and Farrell in the predecessor of Cathay Pacific, Roy Farrell Import - Export Company, which was initially headquartered in Shanghai. Both de Kantzow and Farrell were ex-air force pilots who had flown the Hump, a route over the Himalayan mountains. Farrell purchased the airline 's first aircraft, a Douglas DC - 3, nicknamed Betsy, in New York on 6 October 1945. The company began freight services in January 1946 with two DC - 3s between Australia and China ( its first commercial flight was a shipment of clothes from Sydney to Shanghai ), but the profitable business soon attracted attention from Republic of China government officials. After several instances where the company 's planes were detained by authorities in Shanghai, on 11 May 1946 the company relocated, flying its two planes to Hong Kong. Farrell and de Kantzow re-registered their business in Hong Kong on 24 September 1946 as `` Cathay Pacific Airways Limited ''. They named it Cathay, the ancient name given to China, and Pacific because Farrell speculated that they would one day fly across the Pacific ( which happened in the 1970s ). The Chinese name for the company ( `` 國泰 '' ) was not settled on until the 1950s. It comes from a Chinese idiom meaning `` grand and peaceful state '' and was at the time often used by other businesses called `` Cathay '' in English. According to legend, the airline 's unique name was conceived by Farrell and some foreign correspondents at the bar of the Manila Hotel. On Cathay Pacific 's maiden voyage, Farrell and de Kantzow flew from Hong Kong to Manila, and later on to Shanghai. The airline initially flew routes between Hong Kong, Sydney, Manila, Singapore, Shanghai, and Canton, while scheduled service was limited to Bangkok, Manila, and Singapore only. The airline grew quickly. By 1947, it had added another three DC - 3s and a Vickers Catalina seaplane to its fleet. In 1948, a new legal person of Cathay Pacific Airways was incorporated, which John Swire & Sons ( now known as Swire Group ), China Navigation Company, Australian National Airways were the new shareholders of the new entity, acquiring the assets from the old legal person ; the old legal person, was renamed into Cathay Pacific Holdings, as well as retaining 10 % shares of the new Cathay Pacific Airways. de Kantzow, Farrell and Russell were the shareholder of Cathay Pacific Holdings at that time. Swire later acquired 52 % of Cathay Pacific Airways. As of 31 December 2017, the airline is still 45 % owned by Swire Group through its subsidiary Swire Pacific Limited, as the largest shareholder. However, Swire Group also formed a shareholders ' agreement with the second largest shareholder Air China ( which was controlled by state - owned China National Aviation Holding ), which Cathay Pacific and Air China had a cross ownership. In the late 1940s, the Hong Kong government divided the local aviation market between Cathay Pacific and its only local competitor, the Jardine Matheson - owned Hong Kong Airways : Cathay Pacific was allocated routes to the south ( including South - East Asia and Australia ), while Hong Kong Airways was allocated routes to the north ( including mainland China, Korea and Japan ). The situation changed with the establishment of the People 's Republic of China and the Korean War, which reduced the viability of the northern routes. In 1959, Cathay Pacific acquired Hong Kong Airways, and became the dominant airline in Hong Kong. 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s : expansion Cathay Pacific Convair 880 as operated from 1964 until 1974 The airline prospered in the late 1950s and into the 1960s, helped by buying its archrival, Hong Kong Airways, on 1 July 1959. Between 1962 and 1967, the airline recorded double digit growth on average every year and became the world 's first airline to operate international services to Fukuoka, Nagoya and Osaka in Japan. In 1964, it carried its one millionth passenger and acquired its first jet engine aircraft, the Convair 880. Lockheed L - 1011 TriStar at Osaka International Airport in the old livery with the British Union Flag and the logo of parent company Swire In the 1970s, Cathay Pacific installed a computerised reservation system and flight simulators. In 1979, the airline acquired its first Boeing 747 and applied for traffic rights to begin flying to London in 1980, with the first flight on 16 July. Expansion continued into the 1980s, with nonstop service to Vancouver in 1983, with continuing service on to San Francisco in 1986 when an industry - wide boom encouraged route growth to many European and North American centres. On 15 May 1986, the airline went public and was listed in the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. 1990s : rebranding, renewal, and Oneworld In January 1990, Cathay Pacific and its parent company, Swire Pacific, acquired a significant shareholding in Dragonair, and a 75 % stake in cargo airline Air Hong Kong in 1994. During the early 1990s, the airline launched a program to upgrade its passenger service. The green and white striped livery was replaced with the current `` brushwing '' livery. In 1994 the airline invested in a new corporate identity, with a 23 million Hong Kong dollar ( RM 7.3 million ) program to update its image. The fleet was expected to have the new logo within four years. A Cathay Pacific Boeing 747 - 400 in old livery without the Union Flag taking off from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in 1996. This was prior to the 1997 handover. The airline began a US $9 billion fleet replacement program during the mid-1990s that gave it one of the youngest fleets in the world. In 1996, CITIC Pacific increased its holdings in Cathay Pacific from 10 % to 25 %, while the Swire Group holding was reduced to 44 % as two other Chinese companies, CNAC ( G ) and CTS, also bought substantial holdings. According to 1988 edition International Directory of Company Histories, the disinvestment of 12.5 % stake of Cathay Pacific by Swire Pacific, to a Chinese state - owned company, was regard `` as evidence of China 's sincerity in maintaining the prosperity of Hong Kong. '' On 1 July 1997, the administration of Hong Kong was transferred from the UK to the People 's Republic of China as part of the Hong Kong handover. Most of the airline 's aircraft were registered in Hong Kong with a registration beginning with `` VR ''. Under the terms of an agreement within the Sino - British Joint Liaison Group ( JLG ), all registrations were changed by December 1997 to the prefix `` B '' used by the People 's Republic of China and the Republic of China ( Taiwan ). Cathay Pacific aircraft formerly carried a painted UK Union Flag on the tail, but these were removed several years before the 1997 takeover. On 21 May 1998, Cathay Pacific took the first delivery of the Boeing 777 - 300 at a ceremony in Everett. On 21 September 1998, Cathay Pacific, together with American Airlines, British Airways, Canadian Airlines, and Qantas, co-founded the Oneworld airline alliance. Cathay Pacific temporarily took over Philippine Airlines 's domestic and international operations during its fourteen - day shutdown ( from 26 September -- 7 October 1998 ). The airline was hurt by the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, but recorded a record HK $ 5 billion profit in 2000. New Hong Kong International Airport and transpolar flights On Monday, 6 July 1998, at 00 : 00 HKT, Kai Tak International Airport saw its last commercial departure, Cathay Pacific Flight 251 to London Heathrow Airport, after over 73 years of operation. The next day, Cathay Pacific Flight 889 from New York John F. Kennedy International Airport piloted by Captain Paul Horsting, was the first arrival to the new Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong. Also on board were Captain Mike Lowes and First Officer Kelvin Ma. This flight was also the world 's first nonstop transpolar flight from New York to Hong Kong. The flight, dubbed Polar One, takes about 16 hours between Hong Kong and New York Kennedy, saving about three to four hours compared to the one stop flight via Vancouver. It is Cathay Pacific 's longest nonstop flight, and one of the longest in the world at 8,055 mi ( 12,963 km ). 2000s : industrial troubles and acquisitions Cathay Pacific operated three A340 - 600 from 2002 to 2008 The 2000s saw Cathay Pacific experience labour relations issues, while completing the acquisition of Dragonair. On 28 November 2002, the airline took delivery of its first Airbus A340 - 600 aircraft at a ceremony at the Airbus factory in Toulouse. Cathay Pacific was the launch customer in Asia for the A340 - 600 and the aircraft was the first of three leased from International Lease Finance Corporation ( ILFC ). On 1 December 2005, Cathay Pacific ordered 16 Boeing 777 - 300ER aircraft, four on lease from ILFC, to be delivered between September 2007 and July 2010, plus options on 20 more of the type, two of which were converted to orders on 1 June 2006. The airline also ordered 3 more A330 - 300 on the same day, with the delivery of the aircraft scheduled for 2008. On 7 August 2007, Cathay Pacific ordered five more wide - body Boeing 777 - 300ER aircraft for a total price of about US $1.4 billion, increasing its commitment to a total of 23 of the aircraft type. The 49ers -- Employment dispute In 2001, the Hong Kong Aircrew Officers Association ( HKAOA ) launched a `` work to rule '' campaign to further its campaign for pay improvements and changes to roster scheduling practices. The action involved pilots refusing to work flights that were not scheduled on their roster. Although this alone did not cause extensive disruption, rostered pilots began to call in sick for their flights. Combined with the work to rule campaign, the airline was unable to cover all of its scheduled flights, and cancellations resulted. Cathay Pacific steadfastly refused to negotiate with the HKAOA under threat of industrial action. Airbus A330 - 300 at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport On 9 July 2001, reportedly following a comprehensive review of the employment histories of all its pilots, the company fired 49 of its 1,500 pilots. This group became known colloquially as `` the 49ers ''. Nearly half of the fired pilots were captains, representing five percent of the total pilot group. Of the 21 officers of the HKAOA, nine were fired, including four of the seven union negotiators. Then - HKAOA president Captain Nigel Demery took the view that `` the firing was pure intimidation, a union - bust straight up, designed to be random enough to put the fear in all pilots that they might be next, no reason given ''. The dismissals were challenged in a number of legal proceedings, but none were reinstated. The airline later offered the 49 pilots it terminated in 2001 the chance to reapply for pilot positions with its cargo division, guaranteeing such applicants first interviews, subject to passing psychometric testing. Nineteen former employees applied and twelve were offered jobs. On 11 November 2009, 18 of the 49ers succeeded in the Hong Kong Court of First Instance concerning their joint claims for breach of contract, breach of the Employment Ordinance, and defamation. Judge Anselmo Reyes ruled that the airline had contravened the Employment Ordinance by dismissing the pilots without a valid reason, adding that they had been sacked primarily because of union activities. He also held that remarks by then chief operating officer Philip Chen Nanlok and current chief executive Tony Tyler after the sackings were defamatory. The judge handed the pilots a victory in their long - running legal battle, with individual awards of HK $3.3 million for defamation together with a month 's pay and HK $150,000 for the sackings. On 24 December 2010, judges Frank Stock, Susan Kwan and Johnson Lam of the Court of Appeal overturned the judgment of the lower court to the extent that the claim for wrongful termination of contract was dismissed. The finding that Cathay Pacific wrongly sacked the 18 pilots for their union activities was upheld. The court upheld the defamation claim, but reduced the damages for the defamatory comments made by Cathay Pacific management. The judges also modified the judgment awarding payment of legal costs to the pilots and instead said that they should now pay some of Cathay 's costs. The leader of the 49er Plaintiffs, Captain John Warham, launched a book titled The 49ers -- The True Story on 25 March 2011. The pilots were awarded leave on 26 October 2011 to take their case to the Court of Final Appeal. The matter was heard before Hon. Mr. Justices Bokhary, Chan and Ribeiro who are all Permanent Judges of the Court of Final Appeal. The matters to be decided upon by the Court concerned wrongful termination of contract and the level of damages for defamation. The case was heard by the Court of Final Appeal on 27 August 2012. On 26 September 2012, 11 years after they were sacked, the 49ers were finally judged to have won the 3 prime issues of their legal case : breach of contract, breach of the Employment Ordinance, and defamation. The Court of Final Appeal agreed with the Court of Appeal 's methodology for reducing the defamation damages. However, it reinstated one month 's salary for each of the 49ers. Regarding breach of contract, the overall picture leading to dismissal and events immediately after were analysed by the courts, not just the dismissal letter. Regarding the Employment Ordinance, an important aspect was that the judgment defined the scope of `` union activities '' and its protection for workers in Hong Kong. The Court concluded : `` Accordingly, most ( possibly all ) union - sponsored action is potentially protected by s 21B ( 1 ) ( b ), but if the action is not carried out `` at ( an ) appropriate time '', it is excluded from the provision ``. There was no challenge by Cathay Pacific to the Court of Appeal 's decision to uphold the original Judge 's conclusion that the statements made by Cathay Executives were defamatory of the plaintiffs. John Warham, referring to the effect the fight has had on pilots ' families, said : `` In terms of human life, three people are dead because of what Cathay Pacific did to us. That 's on their conscience, I hope they can live with that. '' Acquisition and downsizing of Dragonair On September 28, 2006, the airline underwent a shareholding realignment under which Dragonair became a wholly owned subsidiary but continued to operate under its own brand. Acquiring Dragonair meant gaining more access to the restricted, yet rapidly growing, Mainland China market and more opportunities for sharing of resources. CNAC, and its subsidiary, Air China, acquired a 17.5 percent stake in Cathay Pacific, and the airline doubled its shareholding in Air China to 17.5 percent. CITIC Pacific reduced its shareholding to 17.5 percent and Swire Group reduced its shareholding to 40 percent. A Dragonair Airbus A320 - 200 Dragonair had originally planned significant international expansion. It was already operating services to Bangkok and Tokyo, and was to have a dedicated cargo fleet of nine Boeing 747 - 400 BCF aircraft by 2009 operating to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Columbus. It had also acquired three Airbus A330 - 300 aircraft to commence services to Sydney and Seoul. Following the acquisition by Cathay Pacific, Dragonair 's proposed expansion plans underwent a comprehensive route compatibility analysis with the Cathay network, in an effort to reduce duplication. Dragonair services to Bangkok and Tokyo were terminated, and new services launched to Sendai, Phuket, Manila and Kathmandu. With the merging of similar departments at the two previously separate airlines, some Dragonair staff have had their employment contracts transferred to Cathay Pacific, with the exception of Dragonair Pilots and Cabin Crew and others made redundant due to the efficiencies gained in the merger. This resulted in an approximately 37 percent decrease in the number of staff contractually employed by Dragonair. In January 2016, Cathay Pacific announced it was rebranding Dragonair as Cathay Dragon. Economic challenges Cathay Pacific Boeing 777 - 300ER arrives London Heathrow Airport ( 2015 ) To celebrate the airline 's 60th anniversary in 2006, a year of road shows named the `` Cathay Pacific 60th Anniversary Skyshow '' was held where the public could see the developments of the airline, play games, meet some of the airline staff, and view vintage uniforms. Cathay Pacific also introduced anniversary merchandise and in - flight meals served by restaurants in Hong Kong in collaboration with the celebrations. In June 2008, Cathay Pacific entered into a plea bargain with the United States Department of Justice in respect of antitrust investigations over air cargo price fixing agreements. It was fined US $60 million. The airline has subsequently set up an internal Competition Compliance Office, reporting to chief operating officer John Slosar, to ensure that the Group complies with all relevant competition and antitrust laws in the jurisdiction in which it operates. The breaches for which Cathay Pacific Cargo were being investigated in the US were not illegal under Hong Kong competition law. In September 2008, three of Cathay Pacific 's top ten global accounts, Lehmann Brothers, AIG and Merrill Lynch, hit financial trouble. Cathay Pacific Boeing 747 - 400 at Singapore Changi Airport In March 2009, the airline reported a record full - year loss of HK $ 8.56 billion for 2008, which was also the carrier 's first since the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. The record loss included fuel - hedging losses of HK $7.6 billion and a HK $468 million charge for a price - fixing fine in the US It had to scrap its final dividend. The hedging losses were a result of locking in fuel prices at higher than prevailing market price. As of the end of 2008, Cathay Pacific has hedged about half of its fuel needs until the end of 2011. The airline at the time estimated that it would face no further cash costs from the hedges if the average market price stood at US $75, enabling it recoup provisions it made in 2008. The flattening out of fuel prices resulted in Cathay Pacific recording a paper fuel hedging gain for its half - year reports for 2009. However, as a result of the global economic situation, the Group reported an operating loss. Given the current economic climate, and in line with the steps being taken by other major airlines around the world, the airline has undertaken a comprehensive review of all its routes and operations. This has resulted in frequencies being reduced to certain destinations, ad hoc cancellations on other routes, deferred capital expenditure, parked aircraft and introduced a Special Leave Scheme for staff to conserve money. According to CEO Tony Tyler, the yield from passengers was `` hugely down '' and the airline had lost `` a lot of premium traffic ''. He noted that it could take 20 passengers in economy to make up for the lost revenue of one fewer first class passenger flying to New York from Hong Kong. 2010s : current developments Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon 's aircrafts at Hong Kong International Airport In 2010, the airline set another record high profit, amounting to HK $ 14.05 billion despite record losses set in the same decade. At the same time, Cathay Pacific had taken delivery of several new aircraft types, including the Airbus A330 - 300 and Boeing 777 - 300 ER. Tony Tyler left his position as CEO at the airline on 31 March 2010 to pursue his new job at the IATA. Chief operating officer John Slosar had succeeded as the new CEO. In addition, New Zealand 's Commerce Commission had dropped charges against Cathay Pacific concerning the air cargo price fixing agreements. In 2014, the airline underwent the largest network expansion in recent years which included the addition of links to Manchester, Zurich and Boston. On 8 October 2016, Cathay Pacific retired their last passenger Boeing 747, a 747 - 400, with a farewell scenic flight around Hong Kong after over 35 years of service of the type. Cathay operated the 747 since August 1979, when it was inaugurated on services to Australia. During the first half of 2016, Cathay Pacific 's passenger yields fell 10 per cent, to the lowest in seven years as competing airlines from Mainland China increased direct service to the U.S. and Europe, hurting the company 's revenue from its Hong Kong hub. In October, Cathay Pacific scrapped its profit forecast for the second half of the year, less than two months after its issuance. From September 15, 2016, Cathay Pacific decided to reintroduce fuel surcharge on many flights after its half - year net profits dropped over 80 % and it suffered HK $4.5 billion loss from wrong bets on fuel prices. As of September 2016, Oil prices were halved from 2014 and stayed below US $50 a barrel. Corporate affairs and identity Cathay City, the head office at Hong Kong International Airport Cathay Pacific 's head office, Cathay Pacific City, is located at Hong Kong International Airport. Cathay Pacific City was scheduled to be built in increments between April and September 1998. The headquarters opened in 1998. Previously the airline 's headquarters were at the Swire House, which was a complex in Central named after the airline 's parent company.

The brushwing logo consists of a calligraphic stroke against a green background ; the stroke is intended to appear like the wing of a bird. The previous logo, consisting of green and white stripes, was in place from the early 1970s until 1994. Prior to 1997, all Cathay Pacific aircraft carried the British flag on the empennage. After the handover, aircraft carry the Brand Hong Kong logo and with HONG KONG or in Chinese 香港 under or beside the Brand Hong Kong logo instead of using the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ( HKSAR ) flag. In fact, the HKSAR flag has never appeared on any aircraft. In November 2015, the airline revealed a refreshed version of its previous livery, featuring a simpler paint scheme while maintaining their trademark brushwing on an all - green tail. Boeing 777 - 300ER ( B - KPM ) was the first aircraft to wear the new livery. The second aircraft was a freighter aircraft, Boeing 747 - 400ERF ( B - LIA ).

Services Ground handling Self - check - in kiosks at Chek Lap Kok Airport Beginning in 2007, Cathay Pacific launched more methods to check in for flights. Among them were self - check - in using a kiosk at Hong Kong International Airport and other select destinations and checking in via a mobile phone. Cathay Pacific also launched the airline 's first ever mobile boarding pass application, dubbed CX Mobile. Passengers can use the application to check flight arrivals and departures, check in for their flights, and read about the destinations they are flying to using City Guides. CX Mobile has become a hit with passengers, making Cathay Pacific one of the industry leaders in offering mobile services to users of smart phones. Cathay Pacific is also now following a trend among many airlines to improve its brand image to customers and shareholders with social media, and is ranked fourth worldwide. The airline now uses a range of social media tools including Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, YouTube and blogging to share ideas with customers. In addition, it has launched a virtual tour to enable passengers to experience Cathay Pacific 's new cabins and services without having to step aboard the aircraft. On 4 January 2011, the cargo division of the airline, Cathay Pacific Cargo, became the first airline operating out of Hong Kong to fully switch to e-air waybill. This eliminates the need for all paper documents when issuing air waybills. The International Air Transport Association ( IATA ) selected nine countries and territories and airlines in which to run the e-AWB pilot program, including Hong Kong and Cathay Pacific. Cabin Cathay Pacific has been phasing in new cabin interiors and in - flight entertainment since June 2011. The first aircraft with the new seats is an Airbus A330 - 300 registered B - LAN, which flew its first commercial flight as Cathay Pacific Flight 101 between Hong Kong and Sydney on 1 April 2012. First Class The first - class seats can be converted into fully lie - flat beds measuring 36 in × 81 in ( 91 cm × 206 cm ). The seats include a massage function, a personal closet, an ottoman for stowage or guest seating, and adjustable 17 in ( 43 cm ), 16 : 9 personal televisions ( PTV ). Business Class This section needs to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. ( January 2018 ) A business class seat on board the Boeing 777 - 300ER After receiving extensive criticism for its high - walled herring - bone configuration business class seating on long - haul flights, which many passengers felt was too narrow and confined, Cathay Pacific embarked on a total redesign of business class seating. The new design is more conventional, emphasising the passenger 's sense of personal space while also retaining privacy. The new Regional Business Class is provided on Cathay Pacific 's Boeing 777s ( excluding the 777 - 300ER ) and selected Airbus A330 - 300s. Regional Business Class seats have 21 in ( 53 cm ) width and recline to 47 in ( 120 cm ) of pitch and feature electrical recline and leg rest. A 12 in ( 30 cm ) PTV is located in the seatback offers AVOD. Premium Economy Class Cathay Pacific introduced a Premium Economy Class in March 2012. The seat pitch is 38 inches -- six inches more than Economy Class -- and the seat itself is wider and have a bigger recline. It has a large meal table, cocktail table, footrest, a 10.6 - inch personal television, an in - seat power outlet, a multi-port connector for personal devices, and extra personal stowage space. The Premium Economy Class seat offers a higher level of comfort with more living space in a separate cabin before the Economy Class zone. Starting in October 2012, the airline collaborated with Hong Kong lifestyle store GOD and introduced a new range of amenity kits for premium economy passengers. They are designed as collectibles with each bag being able to hook up to each other to form a wall - hanging accessory. The first two available are ' Joy ' and ' Fortune, with designs that depicts Chinese gods relaxing in flight and of auspicious clouds respectively. The two types are available on outbound and inbound flights respectively. They include 90 % recycled plastic bottles and toothbrush made mainly from biodegradable corn starch and cellulose. Economy Class New Economy Class cabin on a Boeing 777 - 300ER Old Economy Class seats with fixed shell design and StudioCX screens Cathay Pacific has been introducing a new economy class from March 2012. They have a six - inch recline ( two inches over the current long - haul economy seat ). These seats are 17.5 in ( 44 cm ) in width and have 32 in ( 81 cm ) of pitch. The old Economy Class seats, offered on aircraft outfitted with the refurbished long - haul interiors, were designed by B / E Aerospace and introduced in July 2008. These seats include a fixed back design ( shell ) that allows passengers to recline without intruding on those seated behind, a 9 in ( 23 cm ) PTV providing AVOD, AC power located behind a larger tray table, a coat hook and a literature pocket that has been relocated to below the seat cushion to create more leg room. The fixed shell of these seats has been criticised. The previous Economy Class seats each feature 6 in ( 15 cm ) PTVs with a choice of 25 channels. These seats are 17 in ( 43 cm ) in width and have 32 in ( 81 cm ) of pitch. These seats are being replaced with the New Economy Class seats on aircraft receiving the Cathay Pacific 's new long - haul interior configuration. In - flight entertainment StudioCX, Cathay Pacific 's in - flight entertainment system, equipped with personal televisions ( PTVs ) in every seat, offers the latest Hollywood blockbuster movies, popular Asian and Western TV programs, music and games. In addition, the airline provides a range of different newspapers and magazines from around the world, including the airline 's award - winning in - flight magazine Discovery. Passengers with visual impairment can request for Hong Kong 's South China Morning Post in Braille to be available on board. StudioCX provides Audio / Video on Demand ( AVOD ) for every passenger and offers up to 100 movies, 350 TV programs, about 1000 CD albums in 25 different genres, 25 radio channels and more than 70 interactive games. Catering Cathay Pacific First Class fruit and cheese course Starter menu of in - flight meal in business class of Cathay Pacific Food and beverages are complimentary on all flights, with two hot meals generally served on each flight for long haul flights, along with free alcoholic beverages. Foods served on flights from Hong Kong are provided by Cathay Pacific Catering Services ( CPCS ) facilities in Hong Kong. CLS Catering Services Limited, a joint venture with LSG Sky Chefs, provides the inflight catering from Toronto and Vancouver airports ; while Vietnam Air Caterers, a joint venture between CPCS and Vietnam Airlines, provides the inflight catering for flights from Ho Chi Minh City. Accidents and incidents Cathay Pacific has had eight incidents and accidents over its history, although none have resulted in a hull loss or loss of life since 1972. On 16 July 1948, Miss Macao, a Cathay Pacific - subsidiary - operated Consolidated PBY - 5A Catalina ( VR - HDT ) from Macau to Hong Kong was hijacked by four men, who killed the pilot after take - off. The aircraft crashed in the Pearl River Delta near Zhuhai. Twenty - six people died, leaving only one survivor, a hijacker. This was the first hijacking of a commercial airliner in the world.

On April 13, 2010, Cathay Pacific Flight 780, an Airbus A330 - 342 from Surabaya Juanda International Airport to Hong Kong landed safely after both engines failed due to contaminated fuel. 57 passengers were injured in the ensuing slide evacuation.
