Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Unveils Deal to Buy 14 Boeing Jets

HONG KONG, AUG 6 – Cathay Pacific plans to replace aging Boeing 777s and expand its fleet with 14 777-9 jets, part of a $8.1 billion deal supporting growth from Hong Kong airport expansion.

  • On August 6, 2025, Cathay Pacific, the Hong Kong-based airline, placed an $8.1 billion order for an additional 14 Boeing 777-9 aircraft.
  • The order stems from options secured in a 2013 agreement for 21 777-9s, with deliveries expected by 2034 amid delays in the 777X certification.
  • Cathay plans to replace part of its long-haul fleet with fuel-efficient 777-9s, enhancing connectivity and reducing operating costs on international routes.
  • The airline reported a 1.1% year-on-year profit rise to HK$3.65 billion for the first half of 2025, driven by strong travel demand and steady cargo performance.
  • This purchase reinforces Cathay's position as a leading 777X customer and signals ongoing fleet expansion amid an uncertain cargo outlook and market challenges.
