To do so, even with the incoming 77X would represent a significant drop in F capacity, particularly on key long and ultra-long haul routes, considering Cathay only have 21 77X on order. Cathay has always been known as a premium flag carrier, so First class provision in their fleet going forwards, particularly with the 77X delays, is going to be crucial.
