Cathay Pacific Airways is Hong Kong’s flag carrier. It was founded in September 1946 by Australian Sydney H. de Kantzow and American Roy C. Farrell. The airline operates both international passenger and cargo services. Subsidiary Airlines are Cathay Pacific Cargo, Cathay Dragon, and Air Hong Kong, an all-cargo airline. Significant shareholders are Swire Pacific, Air China, and Qatar Airways.

The B777 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner. It first flew on June 12, 1994, and entered service (777-200) on June 7, 1995, with United Airlines: the largest commercial twinjet, the first airliner designed entirely with a computer and Boeing’s first fly-by-wire.

One of the world’s longest-range airliners, the 777-200LR can fly more than halfway around the globe and holds the record for the longest non-stop flight by a commercial aircraft.

The flight crew consists of two pilots, and the passenger cabin can accommodate 314 to 396 passengers, depending on the variant and seating arrangement.

The 777 uses two General Electric GE90, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, or Rolls-Royce Trent 800 axial-flow turbofan engines mounted on pylons, one under each wing.
