Headline numbers
Cathay Pacific (CX / CPA) has fully recovered from the COVID-era schedule shrinkage and is restoring widebody routes throughout 2026.
- Arrival within 15 min (A14): ~82%
- Cancellation rate: ~0.6%
- Most reliable routes: HKG ↔ TPE, HKG ↔ NRT
- Most delay-prone routes: HKG ↔ JFK, HKG ↔ LHR (typhoon season)
Typhoon season
July through October sees Western Pacific typhoons that can ground HKG ops for hours or push diversions to TPE. CX's predictive routing is good but late-summer travelers should plan flexibility.
