Congratulations to #VivianKong for winning gold in the Women's Épée Individual at the 2024 Paris Olympics, bringing Hong Kong its first medal! In the ballet of blades, to retreat is to proceed, and to defend is to conquer — all within a fleeting moment. Facing down injuries and a daunting 1-7 deficit, Vivian's spirit shone brightly: "I won't give up without letting the world see the true spirit of Hong Kong — I must excel for all to see." She clawed back from the big deficit, ultimately fencing a new record for Hong Kong. Behind the "Queen of Fencing," every block, every parry— #EveryMoveCounts, inspiring HongKongers toward their goals with every clash on the piste. As the exclusive Official Airline Partner of Sports Federation & Olympic Committee Of Hong Kong (SF&OC), we proudly support all Hong Kong athletes on their journey to greatness. #Cathay #MoveBeyond #Paris2024

Here’s to our Olympians, and their courage to move beyond in the spirit of #EveryMoveCounts 🌟! #Cathay #MoveBeyond

We believe every small achievement of an athlete can lead to great success in the end. As the Official Airline Partner of Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC), we had the honour to accompany our home team on their journey to glory at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Beyond the flights, we also provided the athletes with lounge access to The Pier, Business, where they can enjoy moments of relaxation to get into peak condition for the journey ahead. We have always treasured this long-term partnership with the committee, through which we can contribute to the continuous development of Hong Kong sports and homegrown talents. It's not just about the outcome, but every move that counts. Their efforts have already made them the pride of our home. May we look forward to their performances as they shine on the world stage. Cheers for our Olympians on the rise, above and beyond! #Cathay #MoveBeyond #EveryMoveCounts

Have you ever noticed your departing and return flights may have different flight times, even when you are travelling between the same two airports 👀? The simple answers are wind, and an upper atmosphere effect known as the jet stream 💨. Essentially, Earth’s rotation causes winds in the northern hemisphere to blow from west to east, and air to circulate from warmer to colder regions and back. These become jet streams, which vary daily and by season, and can be a sizable factor in determining flight time. For example, it is faster to fly to Tokyo from Hong Kong in winter, while the return flight takes longer. That’s why our flight dispatcher team would sometimes opt for a detour, taking advantage of the tailwind on the way over and minimise the headwind exposure for the return ✈️!

Safety and wellbeing are considered in every move we make 🛫. That’s why we were one of the first in Asia to join IATA Turbulence Aware back in November 2023. A global initiative, the platform pools turbulence data from thousands of flights around the world 🌏, with the aim of reducing the risks associated with turbulence. Turbulence Aware feeds real-time turbulence information to our crew, allowing them to make more accurate weather forecasts, and better prepare for turbulence to minimise passenger discomfort, and enhance flight safety. Our cabin crew's safety is uncompromisable, and we've also enhanced our inflight safety procedure to reflect that — whenever turbulence is expected, our pilots will share timely information to let our crew know exactly when to pause inflight service to better protect you and their own safety. Turbulence may be sporadic, but we’re here for your safety and comfort for the entire journey. Keep your seatbelt fastened, sit back and enjoy the flight ✈️! #cathaypacific #MoveBeyond
