The Cathay Group, which has fought with a pilot shortage, is on its way to returning to the global pre-pandemic capacity in the first quarter of 2025, according to the airline.
So what can the Australian clients of the new ARIA suite expect? Sliding privacy doors, larger entertainment screens and pre -established films and food modes are just some of the key features.
With cream and caramel tones and an elegant enveloping seat design, the ARIA comes with a bed with a line, a marble -style side console with incorporated wireless charger for smartphones and other devices, multiple storage spaces and load ports.
Sydney’s is the first long distance route outside Europe to present the Aryan Suite of Cathay.
Tactile screen controls have a variety of prejustments based on activities for lighting and seat position, which passengers can adjust when pressing a butxy button button, takeoff, landing, food, reading, living room or bed.
Passengers can also match headphones enabled for Bluetooth and access a screen application to verify the bath state from the comfort of your suite, to save the loo lining.
Another novelty is the “In the Skies Gallery” at the entrance of the executive class cabin, with works by artists with a connection with Hong Kong, ranging from urban landscapes to vivid landscapes of dreams.
Passengers can enjoy additional privacy thanks to an adjustable wing with an integrated reading light.
The renewed premium economic seats, which come in a cold brown and blue leather palette, have a 40 -inch seat tone (102 centimeters) and a width of 21 inches (53 centimeters), with a leg footrest.
The high -definition 4K touch screens with bluetooth connectivity are 15.6 inches (40 centimeters) and feel huge.
Each seat has a leather headrest with adjustable privacy wings and an integrated reading light, a press button tray table and an additional cocktail table with extensible surface.
The economy update includes new clothing covers, improved ergonomics and additional upper container space. It has the same flexible headrest, tablet support, USB load ports and current shots such as the previous design.

As part of the multimillionaire renewal, the airline first cabin has been eliminated, replaced by 45 Aryan Suites of flat bed; 48 Premium economy seats (an increase of 16); and 268 economic seats. The airline is one of several that have abandoned the first class seats in favor of improved business class offers, with the luxury of first -class trips more and more a rarity in the sky.
As part of the fleet review, Cathay will receive 22 new Boeing 777-9 aircraft from 2026, with a new first class seat.
There are also plans to launch new cabins in its A330, along with a new executive class of flat bed.
