• The Dragonair Aviation Certificate Programme is jointly
organised with the Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps. In 2015,
Dragonair pilots mentored 31 participants over nine
months, aiming to inspire potential Hong Kong aviators
by giving them first-hand knowledge of the aviation
industry. To date, around 200 participants have
graduated from the programme. Almost half of the
graduates have started aviation-related careers.
• Cathay Pacific has received the Caring Company Logo
from the Hong Kong Council of Social Service every year
since 2003 in recognition of its good corporate
citizenship. Dragonair has received the Caring Company
Logo every year since 2005.
