Dynamic Aviation Environment Toolkit Report - Cathay Pacific

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of Cathay Pacific's performance, focusing on the impact of the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests. The report begins by justifying the selection of Cathay Pacific, highlighting its relevance to the protests and its strong ties to the Chinese market. It then carries out a definitional analysis of 'democracy' using three different sources, presenting definitions and key points in a comparative table. The report proceeds to examine current trends in the aviation sector based on data from Hong Kong International Airport and Cathay Pacific, including passenger numbers, aircraft movements, and cargo handled. It then analyzes Cathay Pacific's performance over the last three years, using figures for passenger numbers, flight movements, customer satisfaction, revenue, costs, and profitability, supported by charts and tables. Finally, the report assesses the effectiveness of Cathay Pacific's recovery from the protests, drawing on the findings of the previous sections to provide evidence-based conclusions. The report highlights the significant impact of both the political unrest and the COVID-19 pandemic on the airline's operations and financial performance.
