Cathay Pacific CEO: 'More Orders For Sure' Across Fleet, Signaling Strong Demand for Boeing
BA sits 21% above its 52-week low of $176.77.
Summary
Cathay Pacific's CEO announced plans for significant future aircraft orders across its widebody, narrowbody, and freighter fleets, stating "There will be more orders for sure." This follows a period of strong order activity for Boeing, including a major 200-jet purchase from China and increased 737 production plans. While the CEO noted its low-cost subsidiary HK Express would remain Airbus-only for short-haul, the overall commitment to fleet expansion signals robust demand for new aircraft, which is positive for Boeing's widebody and freighter order prospects.
