Cathay Pacific explores new ways to promote sustainability in business class cabin

Cathay Pacific’s business class cabin is renowned for its luxury and service. The airline has been rated five stars by Skytrax, showcasing their commitment to excellence in the industry. Recently, Cathay Pacific surveyed business-class passengers about sustainability initiatives such as bringing their own water bottle and cutlery on board.

According to View From The Wing, a travel news site, Cathay Pacific is 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 remains uncertain if these ideas will be implemented, it highlights 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.
