Boeing, Cathay Pacific Airways Celebrate 777-300ER Delivery

Plane Sports New 'Asia's World City' Livery

We admit it... we're running this story almost solely because of the pretty plane picture. Aero-News learned Wednesday that Boeing and Cathay Pacific Airways last week celebrated the delivery of the airline's newest 777-300ER, painted in the unique (and quite stunning) "Asia's world city" livery, intended to help promote Hong Kong as the aircraft flies around the world.

The airplane -- the sixth of 30 777-300ERs for delivery to Cathay Pacific -- was unveiled at a pre-flight ceremony at the Future of Flight Aviation Center in Everett, WA. Among the attendees were Cathay Pacific Chairman Chris Pratt and senior airline executives, Hong Kong Legislative Council members, Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department executives and Hong Kong Tourism Board members.

The Boeing 777-300ER is the backbone of Cathay Pacific's long-haul fleet, and is enabling the airline to operate more direct, nonstop flights to key destinations in North America. As ANN reported, Cathay Pacific ordered seven more 777-300ERs last November, as part of a $5.2 billion (list) order that also included 10 747-8 Freighters.

Cathay Pacific Airways' new 777-300ER carries on its fuselage a small flying-dragon logo, complemented by the Hong Kong brand line "Asia's world city". The flying dragon, which symbolizes the spirit of Hong Kong and its people, is seen soaring over green waves, which depict the lands and oceans of the world.
