🛫 Why This Route Matters
Seattle is a key gateway for business and technology. With many companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Boeing located there, the Hong Kong-Seattle connection supports growing demand for business travel. Tourists also benefit, as Seattle offers beautiful landscapes and rich culture.
The decision to increase frequency from a few flights per week to daily service shows Cathay’s confidence in rising U.S.–Asia travel.
✨ What Makes the A350 Special?
Cathay Pacific will operate the Airbus A350-900 on this route. This aircraft is known for:
-
Quiet and spacious cabin – Quieter than older jets, reducing fatigue
-
Better air quality – Improved pressurization and humidity levels
-
Fuel efficiency – Up to 25% more fuel efficient than older widebodies
-
Modern inflight entertainment – With larger screens and faster Wi-Fi

🌍 Environmental Focus
Cathay Pacific also highlights that this move is part of its sustainable aviation plan. The A350 uses lighter materials and advanced engines that reduce carbon emissions per passenger.
