Cathay Pacific has finalised an agreement with GE Aerospace for the acquisition of GE9X engines to equip an additional 14 Boeing 777-9 aircraft. This latest commitment increases the airline's total order to 35 GE9X-powered 777-9s.

Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. is doubling down on its long-haul expansion with the first purchase of Boeing Co. widebody aircraft in a dozen years, while it struggles closer to home with its HK Express unit suffering from a sharp drop in regional demand.

Cathay Pacific orders 14 more Boeing 777-9 jets, expanding its long-haul fleet as the Hong Kong carrier modernizes operations and global routes.
