Cathay Group publishes its passenger statistics for April 2026.

The Cathay Group reported strong traffic figures for April 2026, with a 17% increase in passenger numbers compared to April 2025. Chief Customer and Commercial Officer Lavinia Lau noted high demand driven by holiday travel, though elevated jet fuel prices posed cost challenges. To adapt, Cathay Pacific will suspend flights to Dubai and Riyadh until August while reallocating resources to busier routes. Cargo operations also saw an 8% rise in tonnage, with solid demand from the Americas and robust performance in specialized solutions. Looking ahead, demand is expected to remain strong despite some shifts in booking behavior.
