Early years

Cathay Pacific Airways was founded in Hong Kong on 24 September 1946 by American Roy Farrell and Australian Sydney de Kantzow. Both men were ex-air force pilots who had flown The Hump, a route over the Himalayan Mountains. Each man put up HK$1 to register the airline. Although initially based in Shanghai, the two men moved to Hong Kong to found Cathay Pacific Airways. They named it "Cathay" because it was the Medieval name given to China, derived from "Khitan", and "Pacific" because Farrell speculated that they would one day fly across the Pacific.^[3] The Chinese name for the company comes from a Chinese idiom meaning "Grand and Peaceful State". is the 267th day of the year (268th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

According to legend, the airline was conceived by Farrell and some foreign correspondents at the bar of the Manila Hotel. On Cathay Pacific's maiden voyage, Roy Farrell and Sydney de Kantzow flew from Hong Kong to Manila, and later on to Shanghai. They had a single Douglas DC-3, nicknamed Betsy. 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.

Expansion in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s

The airline prospered into the 1960s, buying rival Hong Kong Airways in 1959, carrying its one millionth passenger in 1964, recording double digit growth from 1962 to 1967, acquiring its first jet engined aircraft (Convair 880), and beginning international routes to airports in Japan. In the 1970s, Cathay Pacific installed a computerised reservation system and flight simulators. In 1979, Cathay Pacific acquired its first Boeing 747 and applied for traffic rights to begin flying to London. Expansion continued into the 1980s, when an industry-wide boom encouraged route growth to many European and North American centres. In 1986, Cathay Pacific went public.

The 1990s

In January 1990, Cathay Pacific and its parent company, Swire Pacific, acquired a significant shareholding in Dragonair, and a 60% stake in cargo airline Air Hong Kong. During the early 1990s, Cathay Pacific launched a programme to upgrade passenger service. Also, the green and white striped livery was replaced with the current "brushstroke" livery. Cathay Pacific began a US$9 billion fleet replacement program during the mid-1990s that resulted with Cathay Pacific having one of the youngest airline fleets in the world. In 1996, CITIC bought a 25% stake in Cathay Pacific while the Swire Group holding was reduced to 44% as two other Chinese companies, CNAC and CTS also bought substantial holdings.

The 49'ers - industrial troubles

Cathay Pacific sacked 49 of its 1,500 pilots on July 9, 2001; hence, they are known as "the 49ers" (though total dismissals and downgrades subsequent totalled 62). About half of the fired pilots were captains, or 5 percent of the total pilot group. But of the 21 officers of the Hong Kong Aircrew Officers Association (HKAOA), 9 were fired, including four of the seven union negotiators.

"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," says Capt. Nigel Demery, president of the HKAOA (and also Hong Kong-ALPA, the IFALPA affiliate of all Hong Kong based flight crew members.)

A later head of the HKAOA, Captain Murray Gardner, is said to have favoured a more soft line approach to dealing with management and indeed workplace relations between the two groups have been largely conciliatory since 2002.

Cathay offered the 49 pilots it sacked in 2001 the chance to reapply for pilot positions with its cargo division, guaranteeing such applicants first interviews, subject to passing psychometric testing. In the event, 19 applied and 12 were offered jobs.[2]

Acquisition of Dragonair

On 9 June 2006, Cathay Pacific underwent a shareholding realignment under which Dragonair became wholly owned by Cathay Pacific but continued to operate under its own brand. Air China, and its subsidiary, CNAC Limited, acquired a 17.5% stake in Cathay Pacific, and Cathay Pacific doubled its shareholding in Air China to 20%.

Cathay Pacific also introduced anniversary merchandise and in-flight meals served by famous restaurants in Hong Kong in collaboration with the celebrations.

Cathay Pacific "Betsy" aircraft

Cathay Pacific "Niki" model outside the Cathay Pacific headquarters

Since its conception in 1946, Cathay Pacific had operated many types of aircraft. The first two Cathay Pacific aircraft were two World War II surplus Douglas DC-3s named Betsy and Niki. Betsy (VR-HDB), which is the first aircraft for Cathay Pacific, is now a permanent exhibit in the Hong Kong Science Museum. Niki (VR-HDA) was lost, but a similar DC-3 has been purchased by Cathay Pacific. It was renovated and repainted by CX Engineering and the Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company and it now wears the original Cathay Pacific color scheme. This aircraft received "Niki"s' old VR-HDA registration and is now on public view in the car park outside the Flight Training Centre of Cathay City.

New seats

Cathay Pacific has been phasing in new seat designs, cabin interiors, and inflight entertainment since May 2007. The first aircraft with the new seats installed is B-HKT, a Boeing 747-400, which made its first commercial flight with them on CX 460 between Hong Kong and Taipei on 11 May 2007. However, only New First and Business Class seats are installed. The new Economy Class seats are installed on the following aircraft : B-HOS, B-HOT, B-HOV, B-HOY, B-HKD, B-HKE, B-HKF, B-HKU, B-HKV, B-HUA and B-HUG (Boeing 747-400); B-LAE, B-LAF, B-LAG and B-LAH (Airbus A330-300); B-HXF (Airbus A340-300) and all Boeing 777-300ERs.

First Class Cabins

The New First Class can be converted into a fully lie-flat bed measuring 36” x 81” (90cm x 205cm). The new seats include a massage function, a personal closet, an Ottoman for stowage or guest seating, and an adjustable 17", 16:9 PTV.

First Class seats[3] can be converted into fully lie-flat beds measuring 22" x 79" (56cm x 201cm) and feature a 10.4" (26cm) PTV, privacy screens and center seat dividers for interior rows, and inseat power and data ports. This configuration is being replaced by the New First Class cabins.

Business Class Cabins

Cathay Pacific flights feature three business class configurations:

The New Business Class seats are arranged in a herring-bone configuration and follow a suite-like arrangement. The seats have been well received for their fully lie-flat capabilities, increased privacy, and larger AVOD PTV. Additionally, the seats feature lumbar support, massage, a 110 V AC power socket, and a personal phone. However, some passengers have commented that the seats feel narrow and claustrophobic, that the angled seat pattern is uncomfortable, that the construction quality appears sub-standard, and that passengers traveling together will be separated by the pod layout.[4]

Business Class Seats [5] on aircraft configured for long-haul flights include a 20.5" (52cm) wide seat that converts into an angled lie-flat bed at a 60" pitch, measuring over 75" (190.5cm) long. Features of these seats include adjustable headrest and lumbar support, water bottle holders and 10.4" (26cm) PTVs with AVOD located in the seatback. This configuration is being phased out as it is replaced by the New Business Class interiors.

The Regional Business Class[6] is provided on Cathay Pacific's Boeing 777s (excluding the 777-300ER) and select Airbus A330-300s. Regional Business Class seats have 20" width and recline to 45" of pitch [7] and feature electrical recline and leg rest. A 9" PTV is located in the armrest provides 20 video and 22 audio channels[8] but does not offer AVOD.

Economy Class Cabins

The New Economy Class seats, offered on aircraft outfitted with the refurbished long-haul interiors, were designed by B/E Aerospace. New features of these seats include a fixed back design that allows passengers to recline without intruding on those seated behind, a 9" PTV providing AVOD, 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. These seats are 17" in width and have 32" of pitch. [9]

Economy Class seats each feature personal 6" PTVs with a choice of 25 channels. These seats are 17" in width and have 32" of pitch. [10] These seats are being replaced with the New Economy Class seats on aircraft receiving the Cathay Pacific's new long-haul interior configuration.

Marco Polo Club/Asia Miles

Cathay Pacific has two loyalty programmes: The Marco Polo Club ("The Club") and Asia Miles. Members of "The Club" are automatically enrolled as Asia Miles members.

The Marco Polo Club divides members into four tiers based on past travel. Higher tiered members are provided with increasing travel benefits on future flights such as upgrades, additional baggage allowance, priority flight booking and lounge access.

Asia Miles is a more traditional travel rewards programme in which "miles" are accumulated by flying on Cathay Pacific or a partner airline. Miles can also be earned by spending through a number of hotels, credit card companies, car rental agencies, telecommunication companies and other non-airline channels. These miles can then be redeemed for flights or other products and services.

Cathay Pacific Airways Passenger Opinions about Cathay Pacific Airways product and service standards (4375 words)
	I used Cathay Pacific 3 times in the last 3 months to fly Tokyo-Paris and return (last flight was from Paris to Tokyo on 8th July).
	I have used Cathay Pacific before and will continue to use them as cost is lower then other major airlines that provide good service and planes.
	The result was my decision to begin the trip with a direct flight from JFK to HKG on Cathay Pacific, a three-day leisure stay at the Peninsula in Hong Kong and then a flight on Dragonair to Shanghai.

Cathay Pacific - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3081 words)
	On Cathay Pacific's maiden voyage, Roy Farrell and Sydney de Kantzow flew from Hong Kong to Manila, and later on to Shanghai.
	Cathay Pacific was hurt by the Asian recession of the late 1990s, undergoing a reorganization and developing a new identity.
	Cathay Pacific may soon reach a decision regarding the issue of how the airline's future high-capacity long-haul requirements are to be fulfilled by ordering either the A380-800 or the 747-8.
