Farewell Cathay Pacific's A340-300's

Well yesterday the 27th October 2016, saw the end of Cathay Pacific's A340-300 services to Auckland, after many years of operating down under on the Hong Kong - Auckland - Hong Kong route. Cathay have operated in the past B747-200's, B747-400's and now the A340-300 will enter the history books in Cathay's Auckland services. B-HXG wearing the One World Livery had the honour of flying the last CX197/198 A340 flight yesterday.

Cathay will now start to operate the Airbus A350, also giving them the honour of being the first airline to operate the A350 into Auckland.

So Auckland will now only have one sole A340 operator, which is Air Tahiti Nui, until they introduce  their new B787-9's into service.

So some last photos of the last Cathay A340 flight into Auckland yesterday by B-HXG
