Dragonair

Dragonair is a Hong Kong-based low cost airline subsidiary of Cathay Pacific.

Operating from its only base & hub, Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok International Airport, Dragonair serves 35 destinations across Asia.

The founding name of the company was Hong Kong Dragon Airlines, its name changed into Dragonair in 1986, a year later after being launched.

After the closure of Hong Kong's Kai Tak International Airport, Dragonair moved its base to Chek Lap Kok International Airport. Dragonair became the last airline to have "touched" the concrete of Kai Tak's runways.

The airline is gaining terrain on the Southeast Asian market, also helping Cathya Pacific face the low cost segment threat.
