7月10日,国泰航空宣布购入10架空客A350-1000飞机,计人这一新订单,在2020年前国泰将接收100架新飞机,总目录价格高达2180亿港元。此前一个月,国泰航空行政总裁史乐山在北京的国际航协年度总会上对本刊记者表示,在当前波幅巨大的经济环境下,新飞机将增强国泰对不同市场形势的适应力。更重要的是,尽管竞争对手环伺,但香港作为金融中心的巨大高端商务需求以及国泰在该枢纽的强势地位,给予了这家老牌但又革新的航空公司以不变应万变的底气。“我们会继续做我们每天都做的事——与对手竞争。”史乐山说。
On July 10, Cathay Pacific Airways announced the purchase of 10 Airbus A350-1000 aircraft to account for the new order. Cathay Pacific will receive 100 new aircraft by 2020 with a total catalog price of HK $ 218 billion. A month earlier, Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Shi Leshan at IATA’s annual general meeting in Beijing told reporters that in the current volatile economic environment, the new aircraft will enhance Cathay’s adaptability to different market conditions. More importantly, Hong Kong’s immense high-end business needs as a financial center and Cathay’s strong position at the hub gave this veteran but innovative airline its unchanging ambitions in spite of its competitors. “We will continue to do what we do everyday - compete with rivals. ” Shi Leshan said.
