With the 2026 APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting approaching in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, Cathay Pacific plans to leverage its extensive global network and air-sea intermodal services to improve cross-boundary travel for participants, a senior executive said.

"By leveraging our global network and multimodal transport capabilities, we will provide comprehensive support services for the 2026 APEC meeting," Arnold Cheng, Cathay Pacific director for the Chinese mainland, said.

Cheng made the remarks after the Hong Kong-based airline signed a strategic cooperation memorandum with China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone Holdings Co in Shenzhen on Tuesday.

Both parties will leverage their respective strengths in global aviation networks, port operations, and customer service to deepen collaboration in areas such as multimodal transport, brand co-building, customer and corporate ecosystems, and smart travel.

Under the memorandum, the two companies agreed to improve integrated travel services in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

"In terms of multimodal transport, we will offer high-quality services across sea, land, and air," Cheng said.

Cathay Pacific, an official sponsor of APEC 2026, will offer free ferry services from Hong Kong International Airport to Shenzhen Shekou International Cruise Home Port for guests flying with the Hong Kong-based airline to attend the conference, helping ensure their smooth arrival in Shenzhen.

Specifically, for sea-air intermodal transport, the airline has five terminals in the Greater Bay Area offering direct ferry services to the Hong Kong International Airport.
