The 11 A330-900s lift Cathay’s total order for A330neo variants to 41 and are scheduled for delivery between 2031 and 2035, primarily replacing regional widebody capacity while retaining longer-range flexibility.

The three A321neos are intended for budget subsidiary HK Express. Cathay said the order moves it closer to a plan for 150 new-aircraft deliveries; the negotiated price is expected to be below the roughly $5.11 billion basic price.
