Cathay Pacific Airways Limited, more widely known as Cathay Pacific, is the flag carrier of Hong Kong, with its head office and main hub located at Hong Kong International Airport. In 1979, the first Boeing 747 VR-HKG arrived in Hong Kong. With its introduction into the company's fleet, Cathay Pacific has transformed from a regional carrier into a global player with a network of long-haul flights. This legacy continued with the new and improved 747-400, introduced in 1989, which opened up many more non-stop, long-haul destinations across Europe and North America – connecting people across all corners of the world. For the last memorable flight, marked by a flight over Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong, tickets were sold out in a matter of minutes.
