CATHAY PACIFIC
In 2007 we achieved our highest-ever passenger revenue and also record passenger
numbers with an average load factor of 81.1%. Passenger demand was high throughout
the year on most routes, with strong corporate demand – particularly on long-haul services –
helping to push yield up by 11.1% to HK52.2 cents. Capacity rose by 3.9% with most of
the increase coming towards the end of the year.
