Cathay looking at further upgauging for Australia

Auckland, Australia under consideration for A350 services?

Cathay Pacific chief executive Ivan Chu says using larger aircraft rather than increasing frequencies will be the best way to meet the growing demand out of Australia in the period ahead.

Currently, Cathay operates threeclass Airbus A330-300s fitted with either 241 or 250 seats depending on configuration on all its Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns and Melbourne services.
