MANCHESTER TO HONG KONG ROUTE LAUNCH - MANCHESTER TOWN HALL

Hosted within the historic Manchester Town Hall, around 150 VIPs, dignitaries, and leading business figures were invited to this special event which culminated in a beautiful catwalk show of some of Cathay’s most iconic cabin crew uniforms from throughout the decades.
