Dragonair to Become Cathay Dragon

Cathay Pacifics wholly owned sister airline Dragonair is to be rebranded as Cathay Dragon.

The two will remain as separate airlines, operating under their own licences.

The rebranding will see a new livery created for Cathay Dragon that features a Cathay-style brushwing logo. This livery will appear for the first time on one of Cathay Dragons Airbus A330-300 aircraft in April and will be progressively introduced to the rest of the airlines fleet.

Cathay Pacific will launch a major international advertising and marketing campaign later this year to promote recognition of Cathay Dragon and the benefits this rebranding will bring to passengers.

Cathay Pacifics Chief Executive Ivan Chu said, We are very proud of what we have achieved together. Cathay Dragon is a brand that will be recognisably part of the Cathay Pacific Group for our customers from different parts of the world. The rebranding will enable us to capture the fast-growing passenger flows across the two carriers by creating a more seamless travel experience.

Since Dragonair became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific in 2006, it has added 23 new destinations and the number of passengers travelling across both carriers has grown five times to more than 7 million in 2015. The combined annual passenger number of the two airlines grew from 22 million to more than 34 million last year.
