Cathay Pacific
For flight numbers starting with CX, head to Terminal 3 for international flights.
Cathay Pacific was founded in Hong Kong in 1946 by an American and an Australian, and Manila was one of the routes it flew from the very start. The name has a Manila story attached to it as well: by one account it was dreamed up over drinks at the Manila Hotel bar, "Cathay" being an old European name for China and "Pacific" an ambition to one day cross the ocean. Eighty years later the Manila route is still running, now around six times a day.
At NAIA, Cathay Pacific operates from Terminal 3, and Hong Kong is the only destination it serves from Manila. Because Hong Kong is the airline’s home hub, the route doubles as a gateway to its wider network across Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia, and it carries steady point-to-point traffic given the size of the Filipino community in Hong Kong. Cathay Pacific is a oneworld member.
