Cathay City, HQ of Cathay Pacific
Eversince it was rereleased as Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong, the airline has seen almost nothing but success. The name comes from the ancient word for China, Cathay, and the hope that one day it would fly across the pacific (which it accomplished in the 1970s). The headquarters is in Hong Kong's International Airport, Chek Lap Kok. From its headquarters it manages its flights around the world and across the pacific including its many subsidiaries like Cathay Dragon airlines, which flies the Chinese routes. The airline started out in Shanghai on September 24, 1946 by 2 WWII veteran pilots who flew two DC-3s on the route, now it flys to 90 destinations around the world with a large fleet of wide bodied aircraft and one of the youngest fleets in the world. Since Cathay Pacific got a virtual monopoly over the Hong Kong aerospace industry they have done many accomplishments and helped found the Oneworld air alliance. Now the airline is looking into a new future of further expansion and we hope you can be apart of it.
