Hong Kong Airlines continues expansion; Jetstar HK appoints CEO & Dragonair to grow closer to Cathay | CAPA - Centre for Aviation

Identical Cathay Regional Cabin, entertainment etc.

Cathay livery albeit a Dragon on the mid fuselage and 'Dragon' instead of 'Pacific'!

Whats next?

Nice photos!

Is that a Cathay Captain on A, B, C or D scale?? He looks proud and honored. Must be great.

Awesome Instagram shots. Cost cutting in the Advertisement department perhaps?

Keep sending them up!

Nice paint scheme, KA deserve a new image. Those filthy white airbuses needed a new life.

[SMOC]

That paint job will make CX planes look like a subsidiary of Cathay Dragon.

Hasn't that Captain gone to EK.

[Sergeant Rock]

No, he's still here....

Will we be allowed to position in Business class, then?

Dragon Pacific sounds better

Dragon Pacific sounds better

How about Dragon Pacific Airways or DPA

Credible rumor that it has all been scraped because they need to "look" different to cx, to maintain the image and advantage of two separate AOCs. Hard to argue you are separate entities when you look and act identical.

If i was jester hk, or hk airlines, I would lobby CAD and beijing over unfair slot allocation if they looked identical, ticketed identically, seamless service etc... Wouldn't you?

Wouldnt have thought it would be an issue, especially with the up and coming CX wetlease on the Bangalore route and the frequent amount of KA Taiwan flights operated by CX aircraft.

I still cannot use my CX F.O.C's on K.A. We're 2 "completely separate company's" according to the benefit manager.

I guess you're not too happy about the new Airframes KA receive this year then?

I guess you're not too happy about the new Airframes KA receive this year then?

You mean the one new A330 vs all the knackered old ones also joining the fleet?

With Cathay written on the side KA boys will wont datel staff travel next !

Additionally, if the regular breakdowns are not one thing, how about the experience of the average new joiner? 200 hours on a Cessna 2 seater, then straight into the jet trainer. KA can only operate safely due to the high experience levels in the LHS,

Are you clowns still harping on about "experience" levels? Only in Cathay.
BA don't seem to have this problem and they have been recruiting 200hr guys for decades. Change the record guys.

Its not their only intake, they have a number of streams including direct entry.
