The Cathay Pacific iron bird is spreading its wings high in the sky again. Inside the cabin, the distinct and crisp voice is heard over the intercom: “Hello, everyone. Welcome on board your flight CX ... bound for Hong Kong.”

What a nice “hello, everyone”. It made passengers feel so welcome and cosy, and closer to the flight attendants.
