Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd is doubling down on mining customer data.
The airline is logging the travel habits of lucrative business-class flyers, such as when they want their seat laid flat, in a bid to individually tailor flights for them, chief executive officer Rupert Hogg said in an interview in Singapore March 18.
