Hong Kong: Cathay Pacific wants to fleet 50 Airbus A320neo

Amely Mizzi March 29, 2023 07:38

The airline Cathay Pacific is currently in talks with lessors to be able to add up to fifty Airbus A320neos to its fleet. The aim is to obtain the coveted aircraft more quickly, as the delivery slots at the European aircraft manufacturer are booked up for years. Specifically, according to a report by Bloomberg, Cathay Pacific does not want to lease the aircraft, but rather buy them from the lessors. Direct orders from Airbus would be preferred, but deliveries would have to be waited until the end of this decade. That would take too long for the Hong Kong-based company, as demand has increased sharply since the borders opened. The 50 aircraft are to be used by both the mainline and its subsidiary HK Express. The company declined to comment on Bloomberg's reporting and merely pointed out that it is in regular contact with lessors and aircraft manufacturers. Up to now, the aircraft flying for Cathay Pacific have generally been purchased. The subsidiary HK Express, on the other hand, flies mainly with leased aircraft. The mainline fleet currently consists of 191 aircraft, most of which are widebodies. Only 16 units belong to the narrow-body aircraft category.
