Cathay Pacific Airbus A350 business class cabin is renowned for its luxury and service. The airline is one of the few airlines that have been rated five stars by Skytrax, which highlights their commitment to excellence in the industry. Recently, the airline surveyed business-class passengers about sustainability initiatives, such as bringing their own water bottle and cutlery on board.
View From The Wing reported that Cathay Pacific may be considering asking business-class passengers to bring their own cutlery on board. This unique idea was included in a survey sent to members of its “Cathay Lab” community who travel in business class. The survey also asked about recycling empty plastic water bottles and whether passengers would bring their own bottle on board.
While it’s unclear if these ideas will be implemented, it shows that Cathay Pacific is exploring new ways to promote sustainability. Traditionally, the aviation sector’s discussion around sustainability has focused on areas like sustainable aviation fuel and fuel-efficient aircraft. However, changing amenities for business-class passengers represents a different approach to environmental responsibility.
Some passengers may be hesitant about bringing their own cutlery, as part of the allure of flying business class is the premium service and dining experience. However, as a reputable airline with room for experimentation, Cathay Pacific may have the flexibility to try new initiatives. With its growing passenger numbers and global presence, the airline continues to innovate and adapt to changing industry landscapes.
