Cathay Pacific is enticing travelers with an exciting offer—over 100,000 discounted economy class tickets. This limited-time airfare sale will begin on Thursday, August 17th, and presents discounted flights to more than 30 captivating destinations across Asia and around the world.
Starting at 2 PM local time, interested travelers can secure their tickets directly through the Cathay Pacific website. These discounted economy class tickets are valid for travel between January and June of 2023. With high demand anticipated, travelers are advised to act promptly to secure their next adventure at an incredible price.
This sale encompasses a wide array of destinations spanning Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia. Departing from Hong Kong, travelers can embark on thrilling journeys to cities such as Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Sydney. European hubs like Paris, London, Frankfurt, and Dubai are also part of the sale. Additionally, West Coast American cities like San Francisco are included. Whether you’re planning a beach getaway, a cultural city escape, or a voyage across the globe, Cathay Pacific’s latest sale offers something for every type of traveler.
This widespread airfare sale serves as a positive indicator of recovery for the global air travel industry, which was severely impacted during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic due to border closures and travel restrictions. Cathay Pacific, like many other airlines, faced significant challenges. However, with rising vaccination rates and easing travel regulations, passengers are once again eager to rediscover the joys of flying.
Cathay Pacific has already restored approximately 60% of its pre-pandemic flight capacity, and its momentum shows no signs of slowing down. The company expects strong performance to continue for both passenger and cargo operations throughout the second half of 2022.
In a positive financial development, the airline recently resumed the deferred dividend payment that had been paused during 2020-2021 due to financial challenges. In August, Cathay Pacific paid out around HK$293 million in dividends from preference shares held by the Hong Kong government. Additionally, back in June, the company disbursed approximately HK$1.5 billion in previously deferred dividends.
By offering this enticing airfare sale, Cathay Pacific aims to inspire travelers to take to the skies once again, fostering a sense of excitement and anticipation for new adventures.
