Cathay Pacific launches Aria Suite on flights from Canada
Cathay Pacific Aria Suite Business Class
Cathay Pacific is setting a new benchmark for premium air travel with its Aria Suite Business Class, available on selected flights between Vancouver (YVR) and Hong Kong (HKG) from June 5. Flights will be progressively introduced, starting with three flights per week.
YVR to HKG is the third long-haul route for the airline’s Aria Suite, which was unveiled in Hong Kong in October 2024 onboard its retrofitted 777-300ER aircraft, which also features a new Premium Economy and refreshed Economy cabin.
The Aria Suite delivers a reimagined cabin experience showcasing comfort, style and functionality with a human-centric design that places the customer experience at the heart of the conception. Artistry and craftsmanship have gone into every design detail and the suite offers a more personalized and immersive travel experience, featuring a more spacious cabin, intuitive seat designs and refined finishes.
The refreshed cabin design is a key element of Cathay Pacific’s long-term vision, enhancing its global offering and providing passengers with elevated inflight comfort. It is part of the HK$100 billion (US$12.7 billion) being invested by the Cathay Group in its fleet, cabin products, airport lounges and digital innovation.
Cathay Pacific Senior Vice President, Americas, Chris van den Hooven said: “We are proud to continue our commitment to offering an unparalleled level of comfort and convenience by bringing our highly anticipated Aria Suite to our North American customers. Just over 40 years ago, Vancouver was our first long-haul passenger route between North America and Hong Kong. We are thrilled to introduce the Aria Suite to the Americas via Vancouver, further demonstrating the importance of the region to Cathay Pacific.”
The Aria Suite will continue to roll out across Cathay Pacific’s fleet of retrofitted 777-300ER aircraft.
“With the recent launch of Cathay Pacific’s new route between Dallas Fort Worth and Hong Kong, the first to connect the airline with the southern region of the United States, we’re further strengthening our commitment to connecting North America with Hong Kong. Our customers will have even more options, with over 110 return passenger flights per week between North America and Hong Kong this summer, ensuring seamless travel and enhanced connectivity for all,” Hooven said.
