Cathay is in a unique position, with our deep roots in Hong Kong, being proudly part of China and connecting Hong Kong to the world.  We are investing well over HK$100 billion to drive continuous improvement across all aspects of our customer proposition.  All this will ensure we remain at the very centre of the Hong Kong international aviation hub for the coming decades. I wish everyone associated with Cathay all the very best for the future.”
