Cathay marks anniversary with retro-livery A350 in Changi

Aircraft to operate international routes through 2026.

Cathay marked its anniversary with the arrival of an Airbus A350 aircraft painted in its historic “lettuce leaf sandwich” livery at Singapore Changi Airport on 27 Jan.

The landing marked the first appearance of the retro livery in Singapore as part of the carrier’s anniversary-related activities.

The green-and-white striped livery replicates a design used on Cathay aircraft in earlier decades and was applied to the A350 earlier in January.

Cathay said the aircraft is part of a limited retro-livery programme introduced during its anniversary year.

Cathay said Singapore has been part of its network since its first scheduled service to the city in 1946 and remains a key Southeast Asia market.

The airline currently operates eight daily flights between Singapore and Hong Kong, according to the statement.

The A350 will continue operating on international routes through 2026, the airline said.
