25 years ago, their goal was to deliver the best quality of service to passengers and now they put the cost reduction in first place. The glitter of aviation is going to dark
I watched a video done at an airport in the USA wherein a Mandarin speaking Cathay Pacific staff demanded the vlogger to delete his video. The comments said she's weird and psycho. She's not even in China. The China takeover ruined Cathay Pacific. The former HK guy said he wouldn't risk transiting in Hong Kong or flying Cathay Pacific. Obviously, they got rid of the staff at Cathay Pacific and installed their spies. Hong Kong is Cantonese. China is Mandarin.
I don't get why people said CX was the greatest airline in the 1990s. I flew a lot with them on the LHR HKG route. The crew was great but other than that the hardware wasn't. CX was the slowest among major airlines to introduce personal TVs in economy, and one of the last to introduce fully flat beds in business. Virgin and to some extent BA had much better hard products back then.
Yeah, but did you see the BA or virgin FA’s teeth? Half of them are either fully missing or fully bad. Made me want to vomit looking at that shit after a 14 hour flight. Another example of socialized medicine gone bad!
This is what you showed us for the past 25 years. I took Cathay in the 2000s to Sapporo, Bangkok, Taipei, Saigon, Sydney, and Narita, Possible to Phnom Penh.

Used to be value for money and no expense spared for CX, not anymore, these days, CX is all about money.

Great to see this, especially from a perspective 20yrs later.
Interesting workings of such a quality airline!
1:58 Japan Airlines are now partnership with Cathay Pacific as OneWorld Alliance members.
3:19 Also did Malaysia Airlines.
And because of the partnership, Cathay Pacific no longer flies to Kuala Lumpur, taken over by codeshares on Malaysia Airlines & Cathay Dragon.
@@tiadaid and they have returned again because Cathay Dragon/Dragonair was merged into Cathay Pacific
That was the golden era of Cathay Pacific.
The 5 Asian Countries that I would fly to with Cathay Pacific Airways are Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Japan.
the message of this video applies to the current situation of Cathay after 20 years
Ancient History, still ❤️ CX the heady era of the 90s ain’t ever coming back! 😢
This is why I love Cathay
Brushwing was slightly revamped in 2014. The motto is now "Life Well Travelled".
Really cool video
thanks for sharing
It's history now...
Are Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan still Cathay Pacific's biggest markets?
Yap!
Eva Air China Airlines (taiwan) has a principals in his home .
