The Cathay Group's June 2025 traffic report demonstrates robust operational momentum, with combined passenger numbers for Cathay Pacific and HK Express increasing 23.3% year-over-year to approximately 2.9 million. This growth is underpinned by significant capacity expansion, as evidenced by a 26.2% rise in Available Seat Kilometres (ASK) for Cathay Pacific and a 32.1% increase for HK Express. While Cathay Pacific's passenger growth of 25.2% closely tracked its capacity increase, the notable gap for HK Express, where passenger numbers rose 16.5% against a 32.1% ASK expansion, suggests a potential decline in load factor for the low-cost carrier. Concurrently, the cargo division posted solid growth, with tonnage increasing 6.3% to over 130,000 tonnes, indicating sustained health in its freight operations and providing a diversified revenue stream.
