Dragonair (Hong Kong International) was officially rebranded as Cathay Dragon (Hong Kong International) during a ceremony on Tuesday, November 22. The move will more closely align the regional Asian specialist's brand and image with that of parent Cathay Pacific (CX, Hong Kong International).

“This is a momentous day in the history of Cathay Dragon and I am excited about the future of the airline and the fresh opportunities that our rebranding brings," Cathay Dragon Chief Executive Officer Algernon Yau said. "As we align more closely with Cathay Pacific, new prospects will open up on multiple fronts enabling us to become stronger and thrive in this intensely competitive industry.”

As part of the rebranding exercise, Cathay Dragon’s website will become fully integrated into a single shared website with Cathay Pacific in early 2017.

Cathay Dragon operates fifteen A320-200s, eight A321-200s, and nineteen A330-300s on scheduled passenger flights to destinations in China, Taiwan, Cambodia, Myanmar, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, South Korea, Bangladesh, the Philippines, India, and Vietnam.
