Cathay and Google expand AI trials to curb contrails on ultra-long-haul flights
x/google
— 5h
Cathay Pacific and Google are expanding AI-powered trials to predict contrail formation and adjust flight paths, aiming to reduce the aviation sector’s climate impact by enabling altitude or route changes on ultra-long-haul and other routes across the Asia-Pacific region. The program, which involves real-world operational data and partnerships with NGOs, seeks to broaden understanding of contrail avoidance and scale sustainable practices across Cathay’s global network.

Nice to see an airline actually testing this in real operations instead of just modeling it on paper. Contrails are a bigger warming factor than people realize.
Cathay Pacific Sees 1H Profit Jump to HK$6.5B
Business
— Jul 22, 2026
Cathay Pacific forecasts first-half profit of HK$6-6.5 billion, up from HK$3.7 billion a year earlier, aided by strong passenger and cargo demand and a HK$1.4 billion gain from the dilution of its Air China stake. Despite elevated fuel costs from Middle East tensions, the carrier benefited from rerouted travel, robust cargo including AI and pharmaceutical shipments, and fuel hedging and surcharges to cushion margins.
