Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. expects flight volumes to fully rebound from Covid in the first few weeks of 2025, a person familiar with the matter said, as the airline’s pilot recruitment program goes according to plan and demand for travel remains buoyant.
Hong Kong’s flag carrier operates at about 80 percent of pre-pandemic levels. The prediction for a full recovery by early 2025 is a little more optimistic than a prior projection that the airline would reach the milestone sometime in the first quarter, the person said, asking not to be identified discussing matters that are private.
