Cathay Dragon was a Hong Kong-based regional airline that operated under the brand name Dragonair until 2016. It was a subsidiary of Cathay Pacific Airways and operated flights to various destinations in Asia, including Mainland China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.
In October 2020, Cathay Pacific announced that it would be ceasing the operations of Cathay Dragon due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aviation industry. The decision was made as part of the airline's overall restructuring plan, which included cutting costs and streamlining its operations.
The Cathay Dragon Logo serves as the visual backbone of the brand’s identity, reflecting the brand’s core values, mission, and ambition in a single, bold symbol. The design components, such as lines and composition, convey trust, dependability, and progressive qualities, and the color palette represents key brand attributes such as sustainability, growth, and authenticity.
