Hong Kong’s Cathay Group (Cathay) has placed a firm order for 14 additional Airbus aircraft, comprising 11 A330-900s and three A321neos, as it continues to modernise and expand its fleet.
The latest order brings Cathay’s total commitment for the A330-900 to 41 aircraft, following an order for 30 in 2024. The three additional A321neos add to 32 A320neo-family aircraft ordered in 2023.
Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, the A330neo has a range of up to 8,100 nautical miles (15,000 km) and offers 25% lower fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and operating costs compared with previous-generation competitor aircraft.
Its Airspace cabin features the latest in-flight technology and amenities, designed to improve comfort for passengers and crew.
The new aircraft will support Cathay’s regional and long-haul operations while improving fuel efficiency, passenger comfort and environmental performance.
