Cathay Pacific Wins 'Airline of the Year' Title at TTG Awards

Cathay Pacific Airways has won two prestigious awards at the TTG Travel Awards - namely "Airline of the Year" and "Best North-East Asian Airline". The 14th TTG Travel Awards 2002 awards ceremony and gala dinner was held today at the Sofitel Central Plaza Bangkok with around 800 travel industry delegates in attendance.

The annual TTG Travel Awards recognise outstanding individuals and organisations in the Asia Pacific travel industry. The awards are voted for by readers of TTG Asia and TTG China.

Cathay Pacific's Director and Chief Operating Officer Philip Chen said: "We are very pleased to win these two awards as they were voted for by people who know the business. The awards are clear recognition of Cathay Pacific's product excellence. Despite the recent difficult times in the aviation industry we have continued to invest in new products, including our acclaimed new Business Class cabin. The awards are also an acknowledgement of our unique 'Service Straight From the Heart' that helps differentiate Cathay Pacific from other airlines.

"I'd like to thank the outstanding people who work for Cathay Pacific, and of course all our customers for their continued support."
