The recent massive layoffs by Cathay Pacific Airways and the closure of its regional Cathay Dragon Airways have affected numerous Hong Kong people. Cathay Pacific, a Hong Kong airline, has fallen into bad shape in recent years. It has fallen in international rankings and drawn widespread criticism from locals in its management practices and service quality standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, the truth shines in adversity. Hong Kongers still harbor feelings for Cathay Pacific<\/a> and Cathay Dragon<\/a>. Even though the airlines’ management and board of directors have changed their operating philosophy, the locals still have unwavering affection towards the brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to the closure of the regional business, Hong Kongers have brought out their old Cathay Dragon boarding passes and posted them on social media to collectively reminisce fond memories of flying on the airline. As the adage goes, you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. I\u2019m also moved to pen my praise for the noteworthy efforts that this pair of airlines has poured into their branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
