Cathay Pacific announced that it carried over two million passengers in July 2024, marking the first time it has reached this milestone since the pandemic. This represents a 15.1% increase compared to July 2023.
Despite the growth, the passenger load factor dipped slightly to 85.5%. The demand was fuelled by long-haul travel early in the month and strong short-haul demand to Japan and Southeast Asia later on.
Cargo operations also saw solid growth, with a 9.6% year-on-year increase in tonnage. Cathay Pacific expects strong travel and cargo demand to continue through August and anticipates a robust peak season later in the year.
