Cathay Pacific

Is this regarding Cathay? Travel24 has previously mentioned in this thread that CX are planning to return to Gatwick from October this year, 5 weekly to start off with based on internal sources within the airport. Cathay Pacific did well at LGW following their return to the airport in 2016. I am absolutely sure that had it not been for Covid breaking out, Cathay would still be serving the route today, as it was one of the more successful of the newer long haul routes launched. LHR is now finally back up to 5 daily this summer, albeit with 3 77Ws and 2 A359s per day (versus the 5 daily 777-only operation pre-pandemic), although this is mostly due to the 777 retrofit programme, hence why seat capacity has reduced slightly with the 2 A350s. Hopefully they will return to LGW, especially with SQ arriving soon.
