Cathay Pacific unveils Aria Suite in new Business Class

Cathay Pacific has unveiled its all-new Business Class, Aria Suite, alongside new Premium Economy and refreshed Economy cabins on its retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The retrofitted 777-300ER debuted on the Hong Kong-Beijing route on October 18 and will progressively be deployed on other regional and long-haul routes.

The new cabin experience was introduced at a special ceremony at Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company’s (HAECO) hangar facility at Hong Kong International Airport on October 16. Distinguished guests, valued customers, Cathay members, media representatives, and Cathay employees attended the event.

Cathay Group Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, Lavinia Lau, stated, "At Cathay, we believe in moving people forward in life. This purpose goes beyond simply flying customers to their destinations; we are deeply woven into Hong Kong’s identity as a global aviation hub. To solidify our role in both the industry and the community, we’ve committed a significant investment of over HK$100 billion over the next seven years into our fleet, cabin products, lounges, and digital and sustainability leadership, reflecting our confidence in Hong Kong’s long-term growth and its position as a key player in global aviation."

She added, "We are excited to introduce new seat products over the next three years, designed to elevate the inflight experience for our customers. First, we are launching our all-new Business and Premium Economy cabins, and a refreshed Economy cabin on our retrofitted Boeing 777-300ER. These will be followed by a new world-leading First Class experience onboard our 777-9s, and a brand-new flat-bed Business Class product on our Airbus A330s. Through our investments in cutting-edge aircraft, innovative technology, and groundbreaking facilities, we are dedicated to moving beyond expectations – in the air, on the ground, and in every experience we create."

The Aria Suite places customer experience at the heart of the design, incorporating artistry and craftsmanship to create a holistic and immersive journey. Comfort, privacy, and a sense of personal space are reimagined, resulting in an intuitive and effortless inflight experience.
