Cathay Dragon (Hong Kong International) is studying narrowbody offerings from each of Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) and Boeing (BOE, Washington National) ahead of a possible order to be placed later next year.
The Chief Operating Officer of parent firm Cathay Pacific, Rupert Hogg, told the South China Morning Post the airline was studying responses to its Request For Proposals with the A320neo and B737 MAX currently being considered.
Once a decision has been reached, an order for twenty-three aircraft would be placed.
Cathay Dragon currently operates fifteen A320-200s and eight A321-200s in its narrowbody fleet with an average age of 11.7 and 14.2 years respectively. It currently serves forty-nine destinations across Japan, India, China, South Korea, Thailand, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Taiwan, Nepal, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
