How does Cathay Pacific make use of its retired aircraft parts for recycling purposes to fulfil its corporate social responsibility? Check this video to find out!
Same and these are the A340-300 version with two configurations one of them is first class business class economy the second configuration which you see more often on the busiest route Hong Kong to Manila it's business class and economy. The only variant of this family that can do Hong Kong to New York and back to Hong Kong Non-Stop A340-600
Remember new aircraft is more profitable but it was sad to see they retire but look at the other side new aircraft=better seats better services better engine sounds like those A350s I am so excited noe
Longest flight for these A340s is JFK to Hong Kong using the A340-600 before the B777-300/er entered service. Flew them twice CX903 September 2001 A340-300 and CX831 December 16 2005 A340-600
True and it's helpful on routes that cross Indian Ocean to South Africa and Australia to South America since there are no airports on that route that is in range of a twin engine jet

Same as Philippine airlines retiring the A340 fleet replacing it with A350
I loved the a340
great video thank you for sharing Australia
好美的340，可惜我沒有親眼見過
我坐過2006年去香港。
I took my first out of the country trip Auckland to Hong Kong, an flew on one of these.. wish I took note of the registration :(
I saw a few dragonair planes :( 2:09
Tobias Cheng I loved dragon air :( I’m sad to see them go :(

Yeah I have never been on the A340-600! They returned them after 7 years of service :(
@@hkflyer I can tell you but they have a very sluggish takeoff because fuel needed to do the 16 hour New York JFK Hong Kong direct flight.
almost cry
How much would an airline earn of recycling an aircraft like the a340
But Four engines is safer than two engines in the middle of the ocean 🌊.
Accountants don't care about that.
Well four takes up too much fuel and CX in is abit if money issues
And engine makers told the FAA that our engines are very reliable
True and it's helpful on routes that cross Indian Ocean to South Africa and Australia to South America since there are no airports on that route that is in range of a twin engine jet
Not if those four engines are sucking the same contaminated fuel...
1:58 hard landing...
The gear is crying because he just wants to have a butter feeling before getting recycle
😢
What a sad day😖😖😖😖😖
If it's not boeing , We not going.
Has CX ever flown the A340 to Europe/Canada/New Zealand?
Yes the A340 destinations included Australia, Europe and Canada back in the days. Thanks for watching :)
用了18年就退役,可惜!
對於飛機已經很長了
其實是用起降次數,保養情況,航空公司意願來判斷該不該退役
Why they're not going to the aircraft museum?
Cathay Pacific's first B777 (also the world's first B777) is now in an aircraft museum in USA!
@@hkflyer where? Marana, Arizona?
