The Cathay Pacific fleet
Our
fleet of 111 all-wide-body aircraft is one of the youngest and most modern in
the skies. The following is a brief overview of the aircraft types operated by
Cathay Pacific:
 |
Airbus Industrie A340-300 These three-class aircraft are designed to carry up to 243 passengers in three classes. They are used on low-traffic, long-haul routes such as between Hong Kong and Rome, Zurich, San Francisco, and Toronto. |
 |
Airbus Industrie A330-300 These twin-engine, regional and medium-haul aircraft carry up to 311 passengers in two class configuration and 251 passengers in three class configuration. They typically fly from Hong Kong to destinations such as Denpasar (Bali), Cairns, and Surabaya. |
 |
Boeing 747-400 The Boeing 747-400 is built for high-traffic long-haul routes. In its standard configuration the aircraft carries up to 383 passengers in three classes. Cathay Pacific deploys the B747-400 between Hong Kong and destinations such as London, Frankfurt, Sydney, Los Angeles, Vancouver, and New York. It is also deployed on high-traffic regional routes such as between Hong Kong and Taipei. |
 |
Boeing 747-400 Freighter
The Boeing 747-400 Freighter aircraft can carry up to 127 tonnes of cargo at one time. The aircraft are typically used on Cathay Pacific's freighter routes between Hong Kong and North America. |

Boeing 747-200 Freighter
The Boeing 747-200 Freighter is an earlier model of the Boeing 747-400 Freighter. These aircraft can carry up to 105 tonnes of cargo. The Boeing 747-200 Freighter is used on Cathay Pacific's freighter routes between Hong Kong, Europe, Japan, and Korea.

Boeing 777-300 Cathay Pacific's Boeing 777-300s seat 385 passengers in two classes, with 59 seats in Business Class and 326 in Economy. They are operated on regional routes between Hong Kong and Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei, and Japan. These twin-engined aircraft offer a higher capacity than the regional A330-300 fleet. Cathay Pacific was the launch customer for this type of aircraft, with the first delivery in May 1998. Boeing 777-300ER The first Boeing 777-300ER was delivered to Cathay Pacific in 2007 and has been deployed on ultra-long haul services to North America. In its standard configuration the aircraft carries up to 301 passengers in three classes. Cathay Pacific has 30 of the aircraft on firm order for delivery by 2012. |

Boeing 777-200
The Boeing 777-200 is the shorter variant of the B777-300 and carries 336 passengers in two classes. It is designed for medium traffic short-haul and medium-haul routes. The B777-200s complement Cathay Pacific's A330-300 fleet by providing a slightly higher capacity alternative to the A330. |
