Cathay Pacific is elevating the travel experience with the launch of its new Business Class, the Aria Suite, alongside a revamped Premium Economy and Economy class on its retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
The initial flight for the retrofitted 777-300ER took off on the Hong Kong-Beijing route on October 18 and will gradually be introduced on other regional and long-haul routes. At a special ceremony held on October 16 at Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited's (HAECO) hangar site, the new cabin experience was formally launched in the presence of esteemed guests, valued customers, Cathay members, media representatives, and employees.
Cathay Group Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau emphasized the airline's commitment to enhancing customer journeys, stating,“At Cathay, we believe in moving people forward in life. This purpose goes beyond simply flying customers to their destinations; we are deeply woven into Hong Kong’s identity as a global aviation hub. To solidify our role in both the industry and the community, we’ve committed a significant investment of over HK$100 billion over the next seven years into our fleet, cabin products, lounges, and digital and sustainability leadership, reflecting our confidence in Hong Kong’s long-term growth and its position as a key player in global aviation.
“As part of this evolution, we are excited to introduce new seat products over the next three years, each designed to elevate the inflight experience for our customers. First, we are launching our all-new Business and Premium Economy cabins, and a refreshed Economy cabin on our retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER. These will be followed by a new world-leading First class experience onboard our 777-9s, and a brand-new flat-bed Business class product on our Airbus A330s. Through our investments in cutting-edge aircraft, innovative technology and groundbreaking facilities, we are dedicated to moving beyond expectations – in the air, on the ground and in every experience we create.”
In the eagerly awaited Aria Suite, Cathay Pacific has prioritized customer experience in the design and development of its new Business Class. Every element reflects creativity and workmanship, creating a comprehensive and engaging experience that redefines travellers' comfort, privacy, and personal space. The result is a smooth and effortless in-flight experience. For more details about the Aria Suite and the retrofitted 777-300ER cabin experience, please refer to the accompanying fact sheet.
