HONG Kong's Cathay Group has achieved a significant milestone by carrying more than 100,000 passengers, the most on a single day since the start of its rebuild.

Cathay Pacific and HK Express carried a combined total of 100,856 passengers, surpassing the 100,000-passenger mark on December 15, 2024.

Since the milestone was first reached, the Group exceeded the 100,000-passenger mark on a total of eight days during the year-end travel peak ending December 31, 2024.

Cathay Group chief executive officer, Ronald Lam, said: "We are thrilled to have concluded the year 2024 on a high note with yet another milestone.

"The past year saw unprecedented progress and expansion for the Cathay Group, thanks to our people's dedication and efforts.

"We are pleased to have successfully completed our two-year rebuilding journey, during which we were firmly focused on adding more flights and destinations for our customers and our home hub. A new chapter has now begun for Cathay."
