Chennai: With 80 per cent passenger load factor in its aircraft, India is a top destination for Cathay Pacific Airways to focus. India and China are the fastest growing destinations for the airline, said Tom Wright, its General Manager, South Asia, Middle East and Africa.
The Indian route is very profitable, he told newspersons.
“We are comfortable with 75-80 per cent load factor. If it goes beyond that, it will create a spill over effect,” he said at the launch of the airline’s new business class and new premium economy cabins on the Chennai-Hong Kong route from January 1.
The global aviation sector is going through a turbulent time while the Indian market is at a ‘low point.’
