SCHIPHOL-RIJK (dpa-AFX) - Hong Kong's Cathay Group announced Friday the
purchase of an additional 32 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft as part of its
continued investment in expanding and modernizing its fleet.

The agreement doubles the Cathay Group's total orders for the A320neo Family to
64, of which 13 have already been delivered.

The 32 additional aircraft will comprise both the A321neo and A320neo which will
join the fleets of Cathay Pacific and HK Express. They will principally serve
destinations in the Chinese Mainland and elsewhere in Asia.

The A320neo Family incorporates the very latest technologies including new
generation engines, Sharklets and aerodynamics, which together deliver at least
20 percent lower fuel burn and CO2 emission savings.

With more than 9,700 orders from over 130 customers, the A320neo Family is the
world's most popular single aisle aircraft.
