Cathay Pacific has been recognised with several prestigious awards in the World’s Best Airlines for 2026, organised by AirlineRatings, a global airline safety and product rating organisation. The airline was named second in the World’s Best Full-Service Airlines category and clinched the World’s Best Business Class award for its Aria Suite cabins. Additionally, Cathay Pacific's lounges were honoured as the World’s Best Airline-Branded Lounges.
Cathay Cargo also received accolades, being named the World’s Best Airline-Branded Cargo Operations, whilst HK Express, a subsidiary of Cathay, was awarded the World’s Best Low-Cost Carrier. These achievements underscore Cathay's commitment to excellence across various travel segments.
Ronald Lam, CEO of Cathay Group, expressed gratitude for the recognition, stating, "We are honoured to receive these recognitions, which serve as a testament to the hard work and professionalism of our teams across Cathay. From premium travel, cargo to low-cost travel, these accolades motivate us to keep innovating and raising the bar."
Looking forward, Cathay plans to continue enhancing customer experiences and reinforcing Hong Kong's status as a leading international aviation hub. This will be supported by an investment exceeding $12.8 billion (HK$100 billion) in fleet, inflight and ground products, and digital innovation.
These accolades add to Cathay's impressive list of achievements, including being ranked among the world’s top three airlines by Skytrax last year. As Cathay celebrates its 80th anniversary, it remains focused on becoming the most loved service brand for its customers
