Cathay Pacific’s passenger count jumps nearly 27% in 2024

Revenue surged 10.5% to $104.37b.

Cathay Pacific carried 22.8 million passengers in 2024, a 26.9% increase from the previous year.

The surge in passenger traffic contributed to a $62.6b passenger revenue (+11.9% YoY).

Yields, however, declined by 11.8% as ticket prices normalised due to increased flight supply.

Despite this, Cathay rewarded shareholders with a 60.5% increase in dividends ($0.69 per share). Earnings per share rose, with basic EPS at 149.2 cents (+6.0%) and diluted EPS at 133.2 cents (+5.9%). Net borrowings increased by 9.8% to $57.94b as the airline continued its post-pandemic expansion.
