"How do you pick which aircraft to fly which routes?"
"Why no A380 for Cathay?"
It goes without saying that planes are a key aspect of any airline's business. So for our aviation-curious passengers, these are some of the top questions #YouAskedUs about our aircraft.

A few years ago, the strategy of Cathay group was that Cathy Pacific operates long haul routes with larger aircraft, while Cathay Dragon (Dragonair) operates short haul routes with smaller, regional aircraft. B787, being a mid-sized aircraft for long haul flight, lies between the requirement of the two airlines, suit neither Cathy Pacific nor Cathay Dragon. It is quite a share to be honest.

@@AEROFLIGHTXV They don't have any 777-200ERs, only 777-200s which are already in the process of being replaced by ex-Emirates 777-300s. B-HNL and B-HNB have both left and were replaced by B-HNS and B-HNU. The other three 772s left are still here. CX also just downsized their A350-1000 order and converted them to A350-900s, so they supposedly would've reduced it by more if they thought they had too many aircraft in that size range. TBH I just want to see a HKG-MIA route launch... that'd be really awesome

Minecraft Creeper A350 doesnt actually compete with the 787 that much. The 787 fell out the range of what Cathay Pacific or Cathay Dragon wanted, hence it wasn’t ordered

@edwink1467 5 жыл бұрын

Simple - the 787 is too small for Cathay. Cathay doesn’t need a mid size (relatively speaking) long haul plane. They prefer the larger A350 and even larger 777. Hong Kong has more than enough demand to fill these planes to most destinations. On the other hand, the 787 works best to connect medium sized airports in a point to point model. Hong Kong airport is one the busiest airports in the world and is near its capacity with very few slots left. While the third runway and expansion are in progress, Cathay still needs to fly larger planes (but not as large as an A380) in order to increase capacity without needing more slots.

@JundaComputersGmbH 5 жыл бұрын

1500 passengers from HK to London? Should have at least 1 A380 with 600 seats, and 3 777 with 300 seats, that way you get both the flexibility and the ultimate in comfort from the A380 and give passengers more choice to choose from, if you prefer the space, and comfort of A380, fly the A380, if you want to fly on a 777 then go with the 777, thats giving your passengers the more choice and flexibility, HK to London is 11 hour flight, I would much prefer the A380 which has far better economy class than 777, and having 4 engines is much safer than having 2, a 777 with an engine explosion would probably crash where as the A380 survived 2 engine explosion flights with a perfect safe landing with everyone surviving, Qantas Flight 32 and Air France Flight 66
