By July 2014, Cathay Pacific will have served Taiwan for 55 years. To celebrate this 55th anniversary, the airline launched the “Celebrate 55” photo and text campaign from June 18 to July 11 at 12:00 noon, inviting the public toCathay Pacific’s Taiwan Facebook pageto post celebratory photos and text for a chance to win round-trip tickets between Taiwan and Hong Kong — a total of 55 prizes will be given away.

Participants in the “Celebrate 55” campaign are required to post one photo and a short text of no more than 100 words based on the theme “A Special Celebratory Moment” during the campaign period to enter the lucky draw. To announce the event, the Cathay Pacific Taiwan team also took a demonstration photo with their own treasured retro items such as vintage handbags, nostalgic in-flight magazines, and a black Motorola walkie-talkie.

Loretta Law, General Manager of Cathay Pacific Taiwan and Korea, said that every year Cathay Pacific designs events around unique themes to attract passengers, hoping that customers are drawn not just by ticket prices but also by learning about the airline’s flight network advantages through these activities. In the second half of 2014, Cathay Pacific will strengthen its European route offerings by adding new services to Zurich and Manchester. Starting in 2015, new fleet members including the A350-900, A350-1000, and 777X will also join the fleet. The airline hopes the public can join in the “Celebrate 55” campaign to share in the joy of Cathay Pacific’s 55 years in Taiwan.
