Detailed SWOT Analysis of Cathay Pacific
Strength
1. Strong presence across regions leading to increased synergies of operations: The company has operations in six regions: North Asia which consists of Hong Kong, China Mainland, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, India, Middle East, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, Southwest Pacific and South Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. An expansive presence in geographies helps the company to create synergy in its network with wider reach and options for the customers without complex code sharing agreements with other airlines. It also helps the company to create brand awareness among different markets along with limiting exposure to one particular market events.
2. Huge fleet and mix of aircrafts leading to optimum utilization of fleet based on demand conditions: The company has diverse fleet of aircrafts totaling 201 in numbers which include a mix of Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Such a mixture helps the company in optimum utilization of facility based on demand conditions. The mixture of long and short haul aircrafts helps in reduction of operating costs along with increased flexibility in deployment of aircrafts. Also, the average age of aircrafts is eight years which results in lesser maintenance and operating cost for the company along with improving the air time for the aircrafts in service resulting in better profitability. Going forward we expect the company to save in fuel and maintenance cost due to induction of fuel-efficient aircrafts.
