Cathay Pacific Crew To Go On Parade In Vintage Uniforms
Cathay Pacific Airways' float leading the International Chinese New Year Parade will also launch celebrations for the airlines 60th Anniversary year.
Cathay Pacific has sponsored the International Chinese New Year Parade for many years. The theme of this year’s float is "Cathay Pacific: Moving Forward with Hong Kong for 60 Years". It features model aircraft from the airline's past and present fleet. Cabin crew accompanying the float will wear vintage uniforms from Cathay Pacific's past, reviving memories of six decades of service excellence.
The auspicious spectacle will also be the first big celebration to mark Cathay Pacific’s 60th Anniversary year of serving Hong Kong, and signals the start of a series of events highlighting the airline’s past – and future – commitment to the city.
Crew will for the first time sport nine different uniforms en masse. Designers include Pierre Balmain, Hermès, Nina Ricci and Hong Kong designer to the stars Eddie Lau, who designed the current uniform.
Eight other floats and 31 performance groups will join the parade on 29 January from the Tamar site along the Wan Chai waterfront.
