Hong Kong's premier carrier Cathay Pacific Airways said it had agreed to buy eight Airbus A330 aircraft for a catalogue price of US$1.7 billion, mainly to serve in the Asia Pacific region. This is the second major aircraft acquisition announced by the company in less than a month following Cathay's biggest single aircraft order placed in November for 17 Boeing jets with a catalogue price of $5.2 billion. Cathay said the Airbus aircraft would be used to replenish and expand its fleet. Cathay expects delivery of the aircraft in 2012.   CargonewsAsia
