The increase in flights comes even though Cathay says that premium traffic on its Australasian services is not yet back to pre-recession levels. Nevertheless traffic from Brisbane and Perth particularly is tracking above expectations.
Cathay recently has seen a major turnaround in its fortunes, posting a net profit of HK$6.84bn (A$966m) for the first half of 2010. The carrier also announced its intention to order 30 Airbus A350-900s and six Boeing 777-300ERs to bolster its medium and long haul fleets.
