Cathay launches 25th Anniversary competition

Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways celebrates 25 years of service in Sri Lanka this month. The airline commenced its flights to Colombo in October 1993 with just two flights a week. Since then the airline has expanded its services to the island offering greater choice and convenience to customers travelling to and from Sri Lanka via Cathay Pacific’s extensive international network and the regional network of sister airline, Cathay Dragon.

As a part of the anniversary celebrations, the airline has launched an online contest themed “Celebrating 25 years of flying from Colombo”. This competition invites all travellers in Sri Lanka to register a free account at Cathay Pacific website and subscribe to its e-newsletter, in order to enter the lucky draw for two free Economy Class tickets from Colombo to their favourite Cathay Pacific or Cathay Dragon destination in Australia, USA, Canada or Japan.

‘We, as a service-oriented airline are proud of being able to help Sri Lankans travel well for 25 years. Cathay Pacific continually strive to enhance the overall travel experience for all our customers as we believe that travelling well is an important part of living well.” said Vishnu Rajendran, Country Lead – Sri Lanka and Maldives for Cathay Pacific Airways.

‘Currently we offer seamless connections for Sri Lankans travelling from Colombo to key destinations in Asia, North America and Australia via Hong Kong hub. And we shall always remain committed to cater to the growing needs of our customers here in Sri Lanka, delivering them our brand promise of a Life Well Travelled’ added Rajendran.

The online contest “Celebrating 25 years of flying from Colombo” aims to create wider awareness about the extensive range of Cathay Pacific services and exclusive offers available for Sri Lankans by providing regular updates via its e-newsletter.

The competition which went live on 3 October, will continue until 31 October 2018,on www.cathaypacific.lk. Cathay currently connects Sri Lanka to the world with daily non-stop flights between Colombo and Hong Kong operated by Airbus A330-300 aircraft featuring the award-winning fully flat-bed Business Class seats together with ergonomically designed Economy Class seats.
