It needs to hire additional employees to operate three previously ordered A340-600 aircraft due for delivery later this year and early 2003, plus the three new A330-300 and three Boeing 777-300 aircraft that were ordered last month for delivery 2003 and early 2004.
The airline will recruit 200 cabin crew this year and 800 more in 2003/04, it said.
It will take on 235 new pilots both from its Hong Kong cadet training programme and a pool of qualified overseas pilots.

Hong Kong, Aug. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd.,
Hong Kong's largest carrier, plans to lease as many as six Airbus
SAS A380 aircraft from International Lease Finance Corp., Air
Transport World said, citing unidentified airline officials.
The aircraft, which will seat about 550 people, will be used
on routes linking Hong Kong to London and Los Angeles. Cathay
Pacific now runs two daily Boeing 747-400 services between Hong
Kong and London, and four weekly flights using an Airbus A340 on
the same route.
International Lease Finance Corp., the world's largest
aircraft lessor by assets, agreed to buy 10 A380s from Europe's
Airbus last year. Five of the orders are for freighters, some of
which may go to Cathay, the trade magazine's Web site said.
The leasing agreement strengthens Airbus claims that airlines
want bigger jets on key routes, as traffic congestion at airports
prevent more frequencies.
