Cathay Pacific Airline at its 70th Boeing 777

Now the largest wide-body Asian operator, Cathay Pacific completes its fleet with the

70th Boeing 777

First Boeing 777-300ER left Boeing factories to Cathay Pacific Airlines in September 2007.

Now, the airline received its last order, the 53rd, reaching a 70 Boeing 777 air fleet, according

to Flightglobal’s Ascend Fleets database.

The largest Asian wide-body airline, Cathay also owns and manages five operating 777-200s

and 12 -300s.

Cathay Pacific also has recently placed orders for 21 Boeing 777-9Xs.

Talking about the final 777-300ER purchase, airline chief executive Ivan Chu declared: “The

777s have played an important role in Cathay Pacific’s fleet modernization and network

expansion strategy. We operate the largest 777 fleet in Asia, and these aircraft offer the

range, reliability and flexibility to build multiple daily frequencies on trunk routes, both within

the Asia-Pacific region and, with the 777-300ERs, on long-haul and ultra-long-haul routes.

Our 777 fleet has helped in our efforts to reinforce Hong Kong's position as one of the world’s

most important international aviation hubs.”
